In case you missed it!
As you can see at this link, the WA Premier, The not-so-honourable Mr Mark McGowan, has publicly stated that parents who don’t vaccinate for whatever reason - because they had a child killed or injured by vaccines, because someone they know had a serious reaction or because they have thoroughly researched this issue and decided the risks and ineffectiveness of our current untested vaccination schedule are not something they are willing to participate in - should “Bugger off!”. 
Not only is this disrespectful and evidence (as if we needed more) that the government is prepared to bully, intimidate, harass and penalise our families in order to force us to take actions we think are not in our children’s or our own best interest, but it should be a reason for a vote of no confidence for his or any other government.
Please write to the Premier of WA using information from the template below or your own words (that would be much better) to let him know why you disagree with his telling you and your family to “Bugger off!”. You do NOT need to live in WA to write to the premier. The more letters the merrier.
Important - send copies of your letters to secretary@avn.org.au so we can share them (without identifying you) on our blog.
Here is a link to a video from the rally in Perth this weekend protesting No Jab No Play. Feel free to include this link and if you have a personal vaccination experience, please share it. And if you live in WA and would like to get involved with local activities and throw your support behind a group that is out there working hard for your rights, sign up for the newsletter of the Citizens 4 Health Awareness.
Be respectful, be firm and be quick because we really need to tell this person why his statement is not only lacking in empathy and respect, but it scientifically ignorant as well.

Honourable Mark McGowan MLA
Premier
5th Floor, Dumas House 
Phone: (08) 6552-5000
FAX: (08) 6552-5001
Dear Premier McGowan,
My name is _________________ and I am responding to your recent comments stating that people like myself should “bugger off” because we question the safety and efficacy of the current untested Australian immunisation schedule.
Like most people, I started off believing that vaccines were safe and effective. It was only when (my child, I, my friend) had a serious reaction that I decided to investigate this issue further. 
As a result of (many weeks, many months, many years, many hours) of my own research from both peer reviewed medical articles and discussions with health professionals representing many different modalities, I decided that the risks of vaccination for my own family far outweighed any potential benefits.
You are calling me an anti-vaxxer which is a pejorative I absolutely reject! If you want to call me anything, please refer to me as an educated ex-vaxxer. 
A person in your position with the power you have assumed over our lives and the lives of our children has an absolute responsibility to ensure that their policies are based on the best possible information after examining all sides of each issue. It appears to me that you have taken all of your information from the side sponsored by the multi-trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry and have completely ignored the overwhelming monetary and emotional cost to our families of vaccine injury and death.
You would not treat the families of children with Hep B or HIV infections like this - you would be drummed out of office! Yet our perfectly healthy unvaccinated children and, even worse, our vaccine-injured or vaccine-killed kids are now second-class citizens and their suffering families are being told to “Bugger off!”. 
I would like to invite you to contact either myself or the Perth group, Citizens 4 Health Awareness, to discover just why we consider your words to be both disrespectful and offensive to our experiences and why No Jab No Play is equivalent to institutional segregation, bullying and governmental abuse.
Kind regards,

Do you want a film screening near you?
We have had many, many people asking us to bring film screenings to their area and, whilst we are happy that you are interested, we also need you to be aware that putting on events such as this are both expensive and a lot of hard work!
Neither of these issues have stopped us before, but we are asking those who would like screenings to please contact us at avnenquiries@avn.org.au to say what area you live in and how many hours you will be available to help us in organising the event. We also hope that if we do bring the screening (or a seminar) to your area, you will be able to help publicise it amongst your networks to make it as well-attended as possible.
The AVN is a network meaning we need to work together with you - our community - to spread this message as far as possible.
We appreciate your help and commitment.
