It doesn't matter if it's a short or long drive, in a remote area or in the middle of a busy street, we should feel safe when we call roadside assistance. As women we feel particularly alert in vulnerable situations like this. Having some simple requirements in place to verify the person sent to assist is essential for client and contractor safety.
I’m Laura’s sister. On the night of the incident that inspired this petition, she called me because she was scared. Through the phone I heard him swearing at her and I was genuinely afraid for her safety. This is not good enough.
I want to know that with all the driving my sister does, she can safely use roadside assistance. I also want to make sure that incidents like the 10th of February never happen again.
I can't even go out in my home town for fear of violence. Random people talk at picnics about the jews having gold buried in their backyards and how jews plot to take over Australia. I get abused weekly on social media for being concerned about jews. The horse has bolted and the government needs to be held accountable. People spreading conspiracy theories are claiming they aren't antisemitic. The hate has been normalised and the delusions are widespread. How did this happen in my home country? My family has been here 5 generations.
In my 1.5 years living in Sydney (coming from London), I have experienced more antisemitism than in my whole life. On the day my grandfather died in St Vincents hospice (September 2024), I was parking nearby the Sydney Jewish Museum when a car drove by and shouted “F*** the Jews”. It has become too normalised to accept anti-Jewish hatred. Please accept this plea for a federated Royal Commission.
My wife hid from the gunfire behind bins 50 meters from the gunman, covering my 7-year old daughter with her body, while the sounds of gunfire rang out around them and bullets flew overhead. A royal commission NOW. No equivocation.
As a farmer, having appropriate access firearms is part of the job for timely and humane euthanasia of livestock. We have effective legislation here in Australia, evidenced by our solid track record of very few firearms related offences at scale. Instead of implementing rash changes to our legislation, we need to look at how we make existing laws and processes more effective, and also support those working in weapons licensing to have ample time to properly review and cross-check applications, while not unduly holding up the process for applicants. Any changes to legislation should be pragmatic, evidence-based, and designed to limit risk of criminal activity while not adversely affecting responsible firearms owners.
Pets are considered family members vy their owners/guardians. It's long overdue for the law to reflect this. What happened to Arnie is equivelant to the same thing happening to a infant child strapped in the back seat - in this situation - and should be handled in the same. way.
The fact current legislation doesn't reflect this is as much a farce as Arnie's death was a disgraceful act (by the thief/s in question).
Make Arnie's Law a reality. Now.
