Thank you so much for signing - early days yet :)

Please share with anyone - workmate, friend, or family that travels on the Ballarat line and experiences the regular hold ups and last minute cancellations that leave us stranded, frustrated (and in the evenings) just plain exhausted in Southern Cross. I decided to start a petition rather than just put in a complaint via the PTV App because people said complaining in the App has made not one bit of difference!

However, if you can get enough petition signatures - then the media starts to take notice - once that happens  politicians start to take notice and remember, there is a State election next year and a lot of new voters in the west…

Advise friends/family not to be put off by Change’s emails asking you/them to chip in - or the step 2 process when you sign a petition. Just delete emails or use the back arrow. It is very annoying but I’m certainly not asking you to do so - Change is asking.  After all they are running a business - and running this platform and not charging up-front for each petition would not be cheap - so they are hopeful that some people will feel inclined to.  
Once signed your signature won’t be removed unless you request it - so chipping in just means Change will share the petition - but their algorithms are much more attuned to national issues not local ones (in my experience from having ‘chipped in‘ previously) so sharing is much more important with local/state community issues.  However, 

Sharing the petition with others by either social media, SMS or QR code helps petitions to grow signatures.

Once again thank you - this may not make any difference at all - but at least we tried!
