Dear Prime Minister
I am gravely concerned that in a prosperous country like Australia, the indigenous population continues to suffer appalling health problems. Only if they can regain some measure of control over their lives and lands will their chronic health problems, such as a lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality than most Australians, be improved. The answer to these problems is not to remove control of Aboriginal peoples’ lives and communities from them, but to give them a greater say over decisions that affect their future. Yours sincerely,
Will my letter make a difference?
Yes. Time and again, letters from Survival supporters have called governments and organisations to account. Policies have changed and lives have been saved.
Should I post, fax or e-mail?
The most powerful way is to print and post your letter. We will e-mail you a ready-to-print PDF of your letter, together with postage information.
We sometimes also publish e-mail addresses or fax numbers where there is a realistic chance of these being read. However, e-mail addresses change and fax machines get unplugged. If you can, please post your letter.
