Hey Everyone,

We still urgently need your help!

Yes… this is our third petition (we know — another one 😅).
But this one is different. This one matters more than ever.

We need 10,000 signatures to trigger a Parliamentary inquiry — a formal investigation that they can’t ignore.

They’ve seen us speak up. They’ve tried to dismiss us.
They’re hoping we’ll give up.
But we won’t.

Here’s what we’ve done so far:
📍 Petition 1: 23,081 signatures – dismissed (change.org)
📍 Petition 2: 21,789 signatures – formally tabled, then brushed aside
📍 Petition 3: This one triggers an official investigation.

Steve Dimopoulos MP and the Victorian Fisheries Authority have cut 44% of Fisheries Officers and closed regional stations — with no risk assessments, no accountability, and no answers.

This new petition forces the issue into Parliament. They must respond.

👉 Sign before 31 July:
https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/petitions/victorian-fisheries-authority-workforce-changes/

To keep things clear and focused, we’ll be closing down the current petition in 24 hours so this new one gets the full spotlight.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for standing strong.
Let’s keep up the fight. Let’s make them listen.
