How to influence government with former Senator Rex Patrick

Rex Patrick (Federal Senator 2017-2022) offered his advice on 17th March 2025 to advocacy groups on who want to influence Government Policy (Federal or State).  The event was held at the Conservation Council of SA and was hosted by the SA/NT branch of Sustainable Population Australia.  Rex Patrick will run as a Senate candidate in the 2025 federal election under the Jacqui Lambie Network.

The video of the event was recorded on zoom and may be watched below.   There is a lot of quality insider knowledge on how individuals and community groups can best contact their MPs to make change.

The notes of the presentation have been written up by SPA and are available in PDF form HERE.

Help SPA to make ‘population growth’  and ‘immigration’  the key issues in the lead up to the 2025 Federal election.  You can find out more HERE.   You can write to your local sitting Federal MP in the House of Representatives,  copied to the leaders of each major party,  through our letter campaign HERE.  Don’t forget to sign the SPA Position Statement (if you haven’t already done so),  which calls for a stabilised Australian population, maintained safely within ecological limits.
