Thank you for helping us achieve 1,000 signatures in our first 24 hours since launch!

But as this morning's headlines show, the situation really is dire. Australia's NAPLAN reading results were already bad in 2025. And now they have become even worse.

It is why the second demand in our petition is for a return to foundational literacy and penmanship.

If you agree that every Australian child should be able to read and write fluently before completing primary school (and before they become an expert on Canva), please share our petition with three friends or colleagues today.

Oh, and in case you missed it, our petition made the national news last night: https://youtu.be/qAoBrsa8-KE?si=QZYK9XHwvTPaZWnp

Let's keep building this momentum so we can make lasting change for our children - and our country's future!
