GetUp - a force to be reckoned with


GetUp proved once again in it's tenth year that it is a powerful force in Australian politics. It came about ten years ago over disgust with the policies in Canberra being so unrepresentative of what the electorate actually wanted. A truly grass roots organisation, crowdfunding court action to stop the Adani coal mine in it's tracks and organising from the electorate directly to the senate are examples of it's effectiveness. 2015, the tenth year of GetUp, was a very big year.
