What the petition asks
Review knife and Gun Laws.
Find solutions to stop killings and to reinvest back into the communities and organisations for our young children, giving them opportunities to excel.
Find solutions to stop killings and to reinvest back into the communities and organisations for our young children, giving them opportunities to excel.
Too many young children are being killed. The current laws are not working. Children are not safe.
The current services, youth organisations have limited funding and support putting our young children at a detriment to succeed. There is a need for more opportunities for our young children to excel and funding has to be put back into all communities.
