I have read and understood the Privacy statement.
I am aware that once an e-petition is tabled in the Council it becomes a public document and forms part of the Original Papers of the House. As with a traditional paper petition, the names and addresses of signatories are recorded and published in the tabled petition as well as email addresses. The name of the principal petitioner only will be published on the web site in a tabled e-petition and the personal details of people who have joined the e-petition will not be viewable in any form on the web site. The information from tabled e-petitions may be obtained from the Clerk of the Legislative Council and this information will include the name, address and email address of the principal petitioner and the name, address and email address of people who have joined the e-petition. Your name, address and email address details will not be added to a mailing list by the Legislative Council. All electronic personal data relating to the posting and joining of an e-petition will be disposed of within six months of the e-petition being printed and presented to the Legislative Council in accordance with the Temporary Orders.

What Happens Next?

Your e-petition request will be emailled to you. You need to find a member of the Legislative Council to facilitate this petition. If they agree to present it, they will need to sign a copy of the petition and forward to the Office of the Clerk of the Legislative Council.

If the e-petition request conforms to the Temporary Standing Orders it will be available for the public to sign on our website. You will receive an email which will contain a link to the petition and you will have the ability to share your petition in order to get signatures.

The Parliament of Western Australia’s role is only to facilitate the e-petitions process.
