Current Campaign Actions

Refugees & asylum seekers

As seen on The Project - the government may have put Australia's detention centres offshore and out of sight, but that doesn't mean that these detainees are out of our mind. For the first time, hear the first-hand stories of children Manus' forgotten children. Click here to see the TV ads that have been created using real drawings done by children detained on Manus Island, and excerpts from real phone interviews with asylum seekers currently in detention - and help their message get out by chipping in to put this ad on the air.

Fairer Super

Current superannuation tax concessions mean too much government money ends up in the hands of the richest Australians, while those who need it most are missing out. The fifteen billion dollars in super tax concessions given to the richest 10% of Australians is enough to fully fund all recommendations from the Gonski Report, implement the NDIS - projects that benefit ALL Australians - and still have change left over.

End Victim Blaming

"Was it in any way your fault?" "You weren't provocative?" "Are you unattractive?" "My God they were having a good time with you." If talkback host John Laws thought he was going to get away with making these statements on-air to a sexual abuse survivor, he was wrong. In partnership with the legends Destroy the Joint, GetUp has launched a new campaign calling for an end of this culture of victim blaming. Click here to read more and join the campaign.

Save the Tarkine

It's a landscape stretching from wind swept dunes and a rugged coastline which was once frequented by the Tarkininer people and other Aboriginal groups, through to the mountain ranges shrouded in rainforest, cut through by wild rivers. It's home to the last healthy Tasmanian devils and other endangered species like the giant freshwater lobsters. The Tarkine evokes an atavistic sense of Australia, how it has evolved over more the 40 millions years. But the area is under imminent threat, miners have plans for huge short-term open cut mines in the heart of the area. -- Send Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke a message to let him know you don't supporting mining the Tarkine.
