Australia - govt survey on chronic conditions

[GcMAF Australia]

Who's a senate MP I could send something to if I get around to it, who would be best?. I think its very important to try to push things at this time the issues out there around chronic illness (not just lyme but any uncommon severe chronic illness), I'd like to tell one I went to jail due to unmet disability support needs.

I shall help with this tania
I shall get some contacts for you
afternoon
You deserve better than the crap that you have had to put up with
cheers

Sorry @taniaaust1, I should have remembered that you would have a good perspective and alerted you. I hope you can tell your story. Thanks to GcMAF for finding contacts. Also, maybe your local senator would be a good person to talk with.

Maybe we all should send messages
The Lyme community group (LDAA) sent out green postcards to the GPs of the members
I think maybe 20,000
This caught on and hence around 40 MPs are in the loop
We could even send letters say in Blue
Just type an A4 page and then fold and tape
and post to MPs

It is TIME for ACTION on whatever fronts we can deliver, well that is my and some other peoples opinion
