For anyone following this petition, please remember you can also join the movement's latest Facebook group dedicated to understanding the official federal e‑petition process:
Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/freebenrobertssmith
This subgroup has been created to coordinate public interest, discussion, and community organisation around the possibility of lodging an official House of Representatives e‑petition. The focus is on learning how the parliamentary petition system works, what the requirements are, and how proposed petitions are assessed by the Australian Parliament.
Members can share information, research, and procedural guidance as we work through the steps involved in preparing a formal petition request. This includes reviewing the rules set by the House of Representatives Petitions Committee, understanding eligibility criteria, and ensuring that any proposed petition meets the standards for consideration.
The subgroup is centred on process, transparency, and civic participation. It provides a space for constructive discussion, resource‑sharing, and collective organisation for those interested in pursuing an official petition through the proper federal channels.
Anyone wishing to review or begin the formal petition‑request process can do so through the Australian Parliament’s official page:
