Interested in education or social services? If yes, you may like to join campaign teams for one of these important portfolios.
Our Agriculture and Rural Matters Team is well underway but looking for a couple of new members too.
Here’s the deal. Our policies are based on very sound principles but it’s now time to turn these principles into platforms, ie, a set of practical actions that should be taken by government.
Here’s what that involves
- Doing research on the current state of play
- Building an evidence base for the change that is needed
- Turning this into a platform for the next Federal election
- Writing posts for the website and other social media
We need people with knowledge and experience in these areas but there is also a place for people who are good at writing and research.
It’s a job with no pay but hey, we are all volunteers here at the Democrats.
Here is what those portfolios cover:
| Education | Schools, universities and TAFE, preschool, and childcare | Issues such as: school funding, overseas student income, tertiary fees | |
| Social Services | Welfare, employment, services | Issues such as: RoboDebt, Covid-related JobSeeker/Keeper payments, NDIS, Centrelink |
