1. Victorians - Please contact your SIX MPs
You have FIVE members in the Legislative Council – the Bill will go to the Council FIRST.
Ask them not to support the 'decriminalisation of abortion' in Victoria in any form.
Also write to your Legislative Assembly member.
The BEST option is to VISIT your MP/s in person – take a friend or two.
The next best is to write a hand written letter identifying yourself as a voter in their electorate.
However ANY letter is good – typed, sent by mail or emailed!
If posting, send to Parliament House, East Melbourne, Vic 3002
If you don't have the internet you can find out the names of your SIX MPs by phoning the Victorian Electoral Commission on 13 18 32.
