How we elect our MPs impacts everything.
Our healthcare. Education. Defence. Our safety. Our rights.
What laws and passed and not passed.
Whose voices are heard and whose interests are represented in Parliament.
Electoral reform it's not a "fringe issue" - it's a priority.

"What I valued most — and I cannot emphasise this enough — was the opportunity to be part of the debate and conversation, to listen and learn, not to have it decided for me. That is the worst kind of managerial politics." Well said @TonyBurke2010
