Please email your local candidates and share at  www.ivotepalestine.org.au .  You can also share through Twitter or Facebook.  

Palestine activist Samah Sabawi thw following comment in the automated email to her local candidate:

Finally, as a life long advocate for human rights, I will not be voting for any candidate who denies the Palestinian people the right to non-violent resistance to Israel’s occupation and oppression in the form of BDS (boycotts divestments and sanctions). I would like to learn your thoughts on that.
