Lee Rhiannon, NSW Greens MLC
I thank Raise the Bar and the thousands of people who came out in
support of the small bars campaign.
Through Raise the Bar almost 8,000 people came out in support of the
campaign, signing and circulating petitions, sending electronic drinks
to members of Parliament, starting Facebook groups and harnessing other
incredibly innovative ideas. I understand that on Monday Raise the Bar
was successful in organising many telephone calls to politicians urging
them to support the bill.
That is a great campaign. It is a way of giving the community a voice
and ensuring that politicians hear a cross-section of views.
