Australian civic advocacy tool

Your MP needs to hear
from you about Palestine

Most Australians who care deeply about Palestine never contact their representative — because they don't know how, or don't know who to call. This tool removes every barrier. Two minutes. Your words. Real political pressure.

What concerns you most?

Pick one issue — the one that resonates most with you. A focused letter on a single topic is far harder for an MP's office to skim past or dismiss than one covering several. It also avoids the appearance of form-letter campaigning if multiple people from your address or electorate write in — one clear, specific letter from a real constituent carries more weight than several that blur together.

What it covers: In June 2026, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory released a report finding that Israeli forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children. The Commission found these actions amount to genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the West Bank. Palestinian children have been subjected to targeted killing, starvation, torture, sexual violence, arbitrary detention and repeated displacement. The Commission stated that the harm suffered by Palestinian children was "not incidental but intended to destroy the existence of the Palestinians in Gaza as a group," and that the scale of documented child targeting constitutes a key element demonstrating genocidal intent. Australia has imposed no sanctions on any Israeli official and has not publicly condemned these findings.

The ask: Will the MP call on the Australian Government to impose targeted sanctions on Israeli officials responsible for the actions documented by the UN Commission of Inquiry?

What it covers: The humanitarian situation in Gaza — famine conditions, civilian death toll, and obstruction of aid — including UNRWA's role and the barriers to its funding and operation.

The ask: Will the MP publicly demand Israel allow full and unobstructed humanitarian access, and support continued UNRWA funding?

What it covers: Despite ceasefire agreements covering Gaza and Lebanon negotiated as part of the broader Iran-US peace process, Israel has continued strikes that have killed civilians in southern Lebanon within days of truces taking effect, and the UN reports Israel killing an average of one child a day in Gaza despite the ceasefire.

The ask: Will Australia publicly call out these ceasefire violations and apply pressure to ensure compliance with the negotiated truce?

What it covers: In May 2026, Israeli naval forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters and detained 428 unarmed civilian aid volunteers, including Australians. Survivors have alleged torture, sexual assault and degrading treatment. The Australian Federal Police has now formally opened an investigation into these allegations, and PM Albanese has so far declined to meet survivors.

The ask: Will the MP call on the PM to meet Australian survivors, and push for the AFP investigation to be fully resourced, independent, and to deliver real consequences?

What it covers: Israel was responsible for two-thirds of all journalist and media worker deaths worldwide in 2025 — the highest number of journalists killed by any government's military on record — including a "double-tap" strike on Nasser Hospital that killed five journalists. Israel has also repeatedly struck hospitals, ambulances and medical first responders in Gaza and Lebanon.

The ask: Will Australia publicly condemn the targeting of journalists and medical responders as a breach of international humanitarian law, and call for independent investigation and accountability?

What it covers: The ICJ's finding that Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory are illegal and must be dismantled, and the trade-restriction stance already taken by 9 EU governments in response.

The ask: Will the MP support restricting Australian trade with products originating from illegal Israeli settlements?

What it covers: Australia's ongoing defence cooperation with Israel — including potential arms exports and military technology sharing — in the context of active ICC proceedings and the ICJ advisory opinion.

The ask: Will the MP call for a review and suspension of arms-related exports or military technology sharing with Israel?

What it covers: The International Criminal Court's jurisdiction over the situation in Palestine, including outstanding arrest warrants and Australia's stated position on cooperating with the Court.

The ask: Will the MP confirm Australia fully supports ICC jurisdiction, would comply with any arrest warrants, and will push for Israeli compliance with ICJ orders?

Personal context makes letters significantly more compelling — politicians respond to constituents, not campaigns

Who would you like to contact?

💡 Tip: MPs and senators tally constituent correspondence by issue. Multiple letters from the same postcode creates a pattern that's hard to ignore. Volume matters — even a dozen constituent contacts on a single issue is logged.

Your representatives

Your personalised letter

Each letter is uniquely written for that recipient. Copy and paste directly into an email — your details are pre-filled.

Phone script

Calls are logged separately to emails and carry significant weight — staffers tally them by issue. Best time: Mon–Thu, 10am–3pm. You'll speak to a staffer, not the MP directly — that's normal and expected.

Sent your letter?

Mark it as sent to get a personalised 30-day follow-up reminder — Oxfam recommends following up if you don't hear back within a month.

2
Send a follow-up email referencing your original letter — note that you are still waiting for a reply
3

Before you send — tips for making it your own

The letter above is a starting point. A few personal edits before sending will make it significantly more effective — MPs and their staff can often tell when a letter is AI-generated, and a human touch makes a real difference.

🤝
Always be respectful
Even if you strongly disagree with your MP's position, keep the tone civil. Angry or accusatory letters are easier to dismiss. A calm, reasoned letter from a constituent is harder to ignore.
🎯
Keep it focused on one ask
Resist the urge to cover every issue. A letter with one clear, specific question forces a response. Multiple asks give the MP room to address the easy ones and sidestep the important one.
💬
Make it sound like you
Change a phrase or two so it reads naturally. If a sentence doesn't sound like something you'd say, rewrite it. Authentic voice matters — staffers read hundreds of letters and notice when one is genuine.
📍
Ground it in your life
Add one specific detail about why this matters to you personally — your profession, a family connection, your community, something you witnessed. Specific details are memorable. Generic concern is not.
📏
Shorter is usually better
If you can say it in two paragraphs, don't use four. MPs and their staff are busy. A concise, well-structured letter that gets to the point is read in full. Long letters often get skimmed.
✉️
Ask for a written reply
Always end by asking for a response in writing. This creates a record, signals you're serious, and means the office has to engage with your question rather than file it. Follow up after a month if you don't hear back.
📞
Call as well as write
Calls are logged separately to emails and carry significant weight. A one-minute call to the electorate office to say you've sent a letter and care about this issue doubles the impact. Use the phone script above.
🔁
Don't send the same letter twice
If you write again in future, reference your previous letter and what (if anything) you heard back. Repeated constituent contact on the same issue is tracked and signals sustained public concern — not just a one-off moment.
