New Open Letter – untitled

Write your letter

This is a public noticeboard, not a private messaging service.

Open Letters (Fremantle) does not send or forward your letter to Josh Wilson MP or Simone McGurk MLA. We publish it here, with your name, suburb and postcode, so the community can read it, upvote it, and see what Fremantle cares about.

By publishing letters openly, we can also give people who have never written before a model to follow and a meaningful, effective opportunity to participate. You can write fresh letters here and you can also post letters that you've previously sent to Josh or Simone directly.

Topics

Pick topics that fit or add your own. We'll suggest who it should be addressed to based on state or federal responsibilities, but some can be relevant to both, and you can override it to address your letter as you like.

Keep me updated about Open Letters (Fremantle) — new campaigns, wins, and ways to help. Untick if you'd rather not. You can unsubscribe any time.

I have read and agree to the Community Agreement, and I understand my letter will be reviewed for defamatory or abusive content before going live.

(Optional) I’m happy for my letter to be amplified in public advertising campaigns (like street posters or social media features) to increase its impact.

How to

How to write your letter

You do not need to be an expert in politics or policy. Your day-to-day experience and Australian postcode is your full credential for having a say about any issue that affects you.

A clear, personal letter is more powerful than a perfect one.

Be specific about one issue. Choose one main topic, which may cross over into one or a few others. Explain why it matters to you and to the broader Fremantle community.
Share a personal story or local example. MPs and staff remember stories, and community members will likely relate, so a real example from your own experience makes your letter memorable.
Ask for something concrete. Common asks are to support a bill, raise a question in Parliament, meet with locals, or explain a position on a vote. But only your imagination limits you; a creative suggestion could be just the thing.
Be respectful and brief. Keep it factual and aim for 200–400 words. That said, if your concerns warrant a lengthy epic, go for it.
