</font><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b>About Lift Redfern -</b> <span>A campaign to get lifts installed at Redfern Station, under the banner “Lift Redfern”, is being supported by a wide range of organisations including business, the arts, the Aboriginal communities, community services, resident groups and local political party branches. The list keeps growing but you can see it at </span><font color="#ff0000"><a href="http://liftredfernstation.wordpress.com/about-us/" target="_blank"><font color="#ff0000">Who is behind Lift Redfern</font></a> </font><font>(Link to Lift Redfern website)</font><a href="http://liftredfernstation.wordpress.com/about-us/" target="_blank">.</a><span> A key part of the “Lift Redfern” campaign is to get the appalling lack of access at Redfern Station debated in the NSW Parliament and for the Legislative Assembly to call upon the “Minister of Transport to take immediate action to install lifts to Redfern Station platforms”. The Premier put in place a procedure where a 10,000 signature petition would generate a Parliamentary debate. The campaign does not aim to tell Government how to deliver access it simply says we want lift access and we want it now!</span></font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span><br></span></font></div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><b>The Launch</b> - </font><span>The Lift Redfern campaign will kick off with an <b>official launch at 8am on Monday the</b></span><b><span> </span><span>19th March</span><span> </span></b><span><b>with “Carriages & Platforms Week”</b>, at Redfern Station leading into a month long signature push. Community members and commuters are urged to come along and support this call for action and help collect 10,000 signatures for a petition which can then generate debate in parliament to make Redfern station accessible NOW!</span><p>
