Dear Supporter,

Thank you for adding your name in support of the Public Decency and Nudity Clarification Bill.

We would like to share a brief update on where things stand, and why your continued support matters.

 
What the current numbers tell us
The petition has now received thousands of verified signatures, achieved entirely through voluntary participation.

Based on observed engagement rates and standard civic participation benchmarks, extrapolation suggests that hundreds of thousands, and potentially up to one million Australians, may be willing to support this position once they are aware of it.

This is not unusual. Governments routinely extrapolate national sentiment from surveys of just 1,000 to 2,000 people. A petition signature, which requires active effort, is an even stronger signal of support.

We have published a transparent explanation of this methodology here:
www.naturismre.com/1-million-and-counting

 
Our immediate goal: 10,000 signatures
Reaching 10,000 signatures is an important milestone. It strengthens the case for formal review and signals that this issue warrants serious consideration.

This is not about speed.
It is about awareness.

Most people do not oppose this issue.
They simply have not encountered it yet.

 
Why time works in our favour
In long-term advocacy, time is not an enemy.

Time allows:

Information to circulate naturally
People to reflect rather than react
Understanding to replace assumptions
Support to grow on its own merits
This is how durable change happens.

 
How you can help
If you are comfortable doing so, the most effective action now is simple:

Share the petition with people you trust
Share the explanation page, not just the link
Encourage others to read, consider, and decide for themselves
Awareness is the limiting factor, not public willingness.

Thank you again for your support and for helping build informed, long-term advocacy.

Kind regards,

Vincent Marty
