Our submission REJECTED by Suicide Prevention Australia!

​​​Hi supporters,

I have difficult news on this issue. I have been negotiating some key issues with SPA over this amendment and they have now publicly rejected CriticLE's formal submission. This was formed on consultation with the public and members of SPA and I regret that the views of those we have been talking to, are deemed invalid by SPA. 

I encourage you to raise your opinion on the amendment proposal to SPA directly by responding to their Explanatory Memorandum before 5pm tomorrow (20 September). This is their instructions:

To assist Suicide Prevention Australia staff to be able to collate and circulate the points please: 
• send points to admin@suicidepreventionaust.org 
• use the subject line “Supplementary points on proposed constitutional changes” 
• attach the points as a Word document (PDFs cannot be accepted) 
• put all content in the attached points (text in the email will not be included) 
• submit by the due date of 5pm Wednesday 20th of September 2023

If you cannot make the submission date, I encourage you to send your thoughts through anyway.

I am extremely disappointed in their response to the work CriticLE has done on capturing the views of yourself and others. I am still working hard to explore an appropriate resolution with them.

Thanks for your support,

Hayley
