Dear signers,
In two weeks, we have crossed 16,000 signatures and have had extensive media coverage. I had not expected such an overwhelming response when I started the petition. I am so thankful to each one of you, for signing the petition and sharing your stories in the comments.
Please, share the petition with your family and friends
I have an exciting update for you all. Thanks to the pressure created by the petition and the media coverage, we have secured the support of the Australian Hairdressing Council. This is a massive step forward for our campaign. We still have a long way to go but this development is a powerful testament to what we can do when we come together. I know how long most of us have waited for this change and what it would mean for us.
But I still need your help. The number one way to convince the government about our campaign is to show them public support for it in the form of petition signatures.
Please, share the petition far and wide to help grow the campaign.
This weekend, I will be meeting with Wendy Blair, who was the Director of the Australian Hairdressing Council for many years. I will learn about the process of lobbying the government, how long it takes etc. Next month, I will also speak with NSW hairdressing educators to talk about the curriculum. I will keep you updated on all that is happening.
