Current Petitions
You can request that the Federal Parliament acts on an issue through a Petition.
The right to petition Federal Parliament has been in place since federation, and it is the only way an individual can directly place grievances before the Parliament.
Petitions are considered by a committee, which can insist a Minister responds to your concerns.

The basic steps to having your issue heard are:
