Please Help My Friend Eryn if you can afford to.

This is Eryn. Eryn is a lovely lady, & a family friend that has fallen on hard times through NO fault of her own. Now she is having to raise her daughter on her own, & these are hard times for lower income families in Australia. Please give generously if you can afford to.

We may not be able to save the world, but maybe we can help one person at a time.
Keith.

"I wasn't always a single mum, but I used to have a beautiful home and I lived with my partner and ran a home business selling hand dyed and hand spun yarns, which my daughter and I would do together, Me as Medicated Merino, and her as The Rainbow Cheetah. But when my partner and I split up, I had to leave everything behind. 

He forced me out of our home, with no where to go, and with my daughter, and I couldn't take any of the house contents except for a few oddments, my spinning wheel, and what could fit in my car. On top of this, his mother stole all my jewelry from amongst my packed belongings while I was trying to arrange storage for my clothes and books, essentially stripping me of what little items of value I had left. Despite my trying to get the police to help me get them back, because she is family, They wouldn't help me. 

Because I couldn't afford to transport my stock with me, except for a few small items, all of my stock was sold off in bulk for less than 1/10 of what I paid for it in the first place to help me pay for fuel to move. And so, my shop was closed, seemingly indefinitely. Now, I work all day, every day to pay our bills on my own, which on its own isn't so bad, except that I never get to seem my daughter anymore. And although I enjoy my work and have a very loving and supportive family, I feel as though I am wasting away creatively, and that I am not really pursuing what I want to be doing with my life. 

Ultimately I want to re-open my shop and be able to work from home so I can take care of it and my daughter and give her the time and attention she deserves from me. 

A yarn business is very labour intensive and the supplies are very expensive. I have estimated that my costs to purchase stock and supplies would be around $8,000. Although the $5000 I am asking for here wouldn't cover all my costs, it would help me with the essentials such as yarn and dye stock. Hopefully starting small will help me to build bigger in the future and make mine and my daughter's dream a reality. 

I thank you in advance for anyone who contributes and if I manage to reach my goal, you have my deepest gratitude".

Eryn.

The Abbott Government Making Aboriginal Communities Suffer. Land Wanted For Mining ???!!!

The Abbott government is letting the Aboriginal communities suffer from the effects of cyclone damage, NO aid has been sent, & even the local police have offered NO assistance. This is a total disgrace. PLEASE SHARE this widely, let Australians & overseas countries know how the Abbott government treats it's citizens.

CHANGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM IN AUSTRALIA

As the recently held Getup Get Together, we spoke about all the usual issues like climate change, refugees/ asylum seekers, education and tax/ mining tax/ climate tax.

But at the end of the day, we thought the reason we have these issues at all is due to the political system being less transparent than ever.  The engagement levels being low across the board and politics being more of a sideshow* than a system of public debate for the greater good.

So we came up with these top 3 issues for the upcoming Federal election:

1.  We want to be able to vote for the issues not individual personalities or political parties.
2.  We want a system that holds politicians to account for their promises and sanctions implemented for politicians that lie. This includes honest costings of promises.
 3.  Pressure the media to stop sensationalising the news and report on the issues, the hard stories and stop focussing on the personalities.

If you support these issues too, please sign this, and when you vote this federal election, think about the issues more than the personalities of Julia vs Tony

*as Lindsay Tanner wrote...

Why is this important?

If we stopped politicking and started paying attention to the issues we could evolve into a great country, wealthy in knowledge and ability (not just minerals) and take ownership of our decisions as a country.
Lets vote for a better system, to later on actually be able to have a say in what decisions are made in Canberra on our behalf.

How it will be delivered

Supporters of this petition will both be delivered to politicians across Australia (electronically) but also become a part of the new system!
