South Australia Senate Campaign

In this year's federal election South Australians have a real opportunity to decide which direction Australia is going to be heading in the future. GetUp believes that the first step to a progressive Australia is to build a Senate that can keep the government accountable and not just be a rubber stamp, be part of GetUp's campaign by taking the actions below
This page will be regularly updated with events that are happening up to the federal election on the 24th November.

Take Action on Election Day

South Australia holds the key to the balance of power in the Senate - and more than 10% of voters will make up their mind at the booths.

Taking action on election day may be the most important action you can take to restore independence and balance in our Senate this election.
