Call in a favour

We have an opportunity to ensure that the $42bn stimulus package will help those who need it most - the 300,000 Australians who will lose their jobs due to the Global Financial Crisis.

Here's how we can make a difference: if the stimulus package is to pass, the Government needs the Greens, Nick Xenophon and Steve Fielding all on board. They all have the power tell the Government: this stimulus package won't pass without looking after those hardest hit.

We vote for our politicians once every few years - but that doesn't mean we can't call in a favour in between. There's never been a better, or more important, time to fix this broken system.
