[Pil-pc-oceania] GetUp Poll - Put GM-free on the agenda

[permaculture at apollobay.org.au]

At our GetTogether meeting in Corangamite, we had KEEP AUSTRALIA GM FREE as
our first priority.  It was the only GetUp meeting in Corangamite to go
ahead.  But our top priority was ignored by GetUp.  We will also be
bringing this issue up with our local MP.  As Corangamite is now a marginal
seat, and the Labor MP only got the seat because of the number of votes for
our local Greens candidate, Fiona Nelson.
GetUp has also ignored the local issues section that was part of the
GetTogether meetings.

I was also disappointed to see that only the top three issues got 
listed. These are the issues that will be taken up with the politicians, 
which means that the "Peoples Agenda" is going to be rather brief. The 
GetTogether held here had Food Security in our top three.   I'll be 
raising that also in our meeting with our MP Fran Bailey. It would be 
nice to know how all the national issues, raised at the GetTogethers, 
ranked.
