#epetition

The internet has allowed for people to respond to issues that they believe in and that are in line with their political beliefs. 

Today I was able to:

- Find out the benefits of NBN (National Broadband Network) and the potential form/s that the NBN will take when rolled out.

- Find out who my local (Steven Ciobo), state (John Paul Langbroek), and federal (Stuart Robert) representative and sent my local representative a message. 

- Find out when my local representative last spoke in parliament (Steven Ciobo spoke at the Australian parliament on 19 August regarding employment), and I plan to message him in regards to my thoughts on his speech.

Last month, Mum had surgery to remove a GIST the size of a golf ball from her stomach. During her time in hospital, she met some wonderful people - including young parents, who had GISTs that weren't responding to the usual treatments. The UK government has announced that they will no longer be funding the drug Regorafenib, which will doom these people to die.
