No more empty words. For too long, Australia has remained silent or complicit in the face of genocide, war crimes, and illegal settlements. Now, we have the opportunity to turn demands into law.

Three bills will be introduced to the Australian Senate to enforce real consequences for genocide, crimes against humanity, and illegal settlements. These reforms will ensure Australia aligns its policies with international law and stops enabling war crimes.

This is our chance to demand concrete action—write to your representatives today and urge them to support these bills.

We have fact sheets, templates and tips on how to write to MPs and Senators here:

Email Tips +

1. Start with a clear subject line

 Keep it direct and urgent. You can put forward a question.

Here are examples:
 

  • Will you support the Red Lines Package?
  • Support reforms to align Australia with international law
  • Enough talk, let's pass the Red Lines Package 

 

2. Introduce yourself and your concern

Clearly state why you are writing; to urge them to support the Red Lines Package and ensure Australia stops enabling genocide, war crimes, and illegal settlements.

Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent of the _______ electorate.

As you're aware, Australia lacks critical legal safeguards to prevent its businesses and government from contributing to genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

I'm appalled that Australia is not doing enough to prevent our complicity, and that we're not living up to our international obligations.

We can end this by passing three bills, known as the Red Lines Package, which introduces key reforms to hold arms companies accountable, divest from illegal settlements, and stop exports linked to war crimes, which you can read more about here

3. Make it personal, and explain why this issue matters to you

  • You could reference your values, personal connection to Palestine, international law, or Australia’s role.
  • If relevant, mention how this affects you, your community, or Australia’s global reputation.

4. Explain what you want them to do

Example:

I'm urging you to publicly support the Red Lines Package and to commit to advancing these reforms in Parliament, and to advocate within your party to endorse these reforms.

Please engage with community organisations like APAN to advance meaningful legislative action.

5. Ask for a response
