Petitions

Australian War Memorial

The petition of the undersigned shows:

That we support the Coalition's four point rescue plan for the Australian War Memorial, which includes an immediate $5 million increase in annual government revenue to the Memorial, a ban on the charging of an entrance or parking fee, prioritisation of funding for the World War One Gallery redevelopment and an independent audit of the Memorial's finances.

Your petitioners request that the Senate supports the Coalition's plan and condemns the Labor Government for repeated failures to address the 'crippling' financial crisis engulfing Australia's cherished national Memorial to 103,000 war dead.

by Senator Ronaldson (from 157 citizens)
