Spoofing the Government's $120 million advertising campaign, Get Up! has designed a post-it note so that we can tell Joe Hockey exectly what we think of his unfair IR laws. So tell him where you stand and put your name and message on a post-it .
Get Up! says, "After this year's advertising avalanche of post-it notes telling you to 'know where you stand', we thought you might want to tell our politicians where you actually do stand. If we get 15,000 post-it notes signed by you within a week, we'll plaster Mr Hockey's North Sydney office - and others - with your stick-on yellow post-it messages."
"This is our opportunity to rise above the smear and scare-campaigns of the election to focus on the simple issue of whether we think these laws are good or bad for Australians. All parties need to hear that laws which scrap unfair dismissal, penalty rates, overtime and more are something Australians profoundly reject" says Get Up!
"Know where you stand"? We know where we stand - we stand for a fair Australia that protects our workers' rights. We stand for a country in which you don't have to barter for maternity leave or work the weekend to keep your job. So on WorkChoices' second anniversary, before this crucial election to decide the future of workplace laws in Australia, tell the decision-makers where you stand on workplace rights.
So tell Joe Hockey and other prominent politicians where you stand and put your name and message on a post-it .
