Amazing efforts have been made by everyone and everyone so far should be so very proud of themselves; but I still feel like there is more we can do. 

More pressure needs to be put on parliament to do their job and look after the welfare of the people who put them in their position of power. As a single person, I am 1 voice and wouldn't be heard alone but as a united group with our eye on the prize, we are a force to be reckoned with. To do this, i would encourage everyone to send an email directly to the Minister of health Mary-Anne Thomas mary-anne.thomas@parliament.vic.gov.au with your stories and feelings towards the policy and the board of RPCV, let them know what you want the outcome to be and demand that the policy be changed. 

I can't control what you each individually write, and understandably we are all very passionate and it is such an emotional, sensitive and personal topic for everyone and I can not emphasise this enough but I do strongly urge you to refrain from using any angst, pain, and anger you feel to be volatile, malicious, vindictive, defamatory, or threatening and please, please respect the cause we are working towards.

If we are to get the results we want, we need to do this the right way - composed, amicable and civilised.
