We ask you to sign our petition in support of the State Elected Model (SEM).
Iin brief, ths three step model:
• Candidates - Governments, political parties and 'the people' nominate candidates on a state by state basis
• Election - The electorate of the states and territories choose their representative by direct election
• Selection - The parliamentarians of all the Lower Houses in Australia, State & Federal, (ie our elected represenatives) elect the Australian Head of State in a joint Australia wide sitting.
So that we may present this petition to the relevant people and organisations, we would ask you to include your real name when you sign this petition.
However, if you feel the need to keep your anonymity -- especially on the website -- you may do this by selecting the "Do not name display on website" box.
Note: This petition is about support for this specific model and is not the place to be commenting about any other system. If you do sign the petition and make comment about supporting another system your signature will simply be deleted.
Please leave any suggestions about how the SEM may be improved in the comments section on the page where your suggestion is most suited.
Finally, once you have signed this petition please check your email inbox to confirm your support.

Good concept I'd vote for it. Allow the people to select and then vote in their representatives. Then allow the pollies to choose from the representatives the people give them. Much better than making us choose from their list. The concept of voting off Survivor Style" those they like the least is an excellent idea - I can see people tuned in for Survivor ACT!
sam,
I dont really follow politics however, we as the young Australians are ready for independence.
Josephine Ann Rajanayagam,
We should fast track this. I think it's time Australia & the PM be in a position to make decisions, and move on alongside with the globe after 109 yrs, and asap. Loss of red tape, might also help put us back on track sooner rather than later, and provide a little more 'power and responsibility' for PM and MP's to act expeditiously. This might also bring harmony amongst pollies and bet pollies and us, including businesses, and yet again, with the rest of the world.
Vidondaraja Narayanasamy,
Can't wait, considering the time lapse for govt approvals and decision-making. Let's move on.
