<div dir="ltr"><p class="">Dear Lift Redfern Supporters</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">We are writing to ask you to let your network / membership
know about the Change.org petition <a href="http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/lift-redfern-make-redfern-station-accessible-now">Lift
Redfern: Make Redfern Station Accessible Now!</a></p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">While we achieved over 11,000 physical signatures in our
push to put Lifts at Redfern on the Governments radar last year our follow up
online petition this year to try and get a response from Government has not
received similar support. We are giving the petition one last big push. So if
you have not yet encouraged your network to sign the on-line petition please do
so. If you have already done this then please send out a reminder.</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">Another State Budget has been delivered and there is still
no sign of any lift access at Redfern. Representations are being made to the
Minister about putting a lift onto the underground platform as an interim
measure but nothing has so far eventuated. The comments people made when they
signed the petition underline how important this issue is to many people – you
can see these at the bottom of the petition page!</p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">Each time someone signs the petition it sends an email to
the Minister and to the Leader of the Legislative Council. It is time to remind
the Minister that this issue has not gone away and that we are waiting for a
response. </p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">On line petitions work well when those that care about the
issue and sign them also share their concerns with their friends. You can do
this by emailing your friends or encouraging people to sign in your social
media networks. On the Petition site under the details of the details of how
many people have signed there are tools to help you to spread the word. So
please take a few minutes to think about how you can spread the word about the
need for Lifts at Redfern station and the petition to the <a href="http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/lift-redfern-make-redfern-station-accessible-now">Lift
Redfern: Make Redfern Station Accessible Now!</a> </p>
<p class=""> </p>
<p class="">The online petition is asking the Government to
announce a commitment for the Redfern station upgrade with a clear and
definitive timeframe for its completion; and as an interim measure immediately
provide lift access under the NSW Transport Access Programme to the physically
separate underground platforms 11 & 12 as lifts on these platforms are not
dependent on a station upgrade.</p>
