GET UP Independant! -- Oh Dear- Codsy baby
Feb 18th, 2019 at 6:25pm
 
It's a landmark decision! Just a few hours ago I received a letter from the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and I wanted you to be the first to hear the amazing result.

In the greatest threat our movement ever faced, Liberal Senator Eric Abetz and the hard right pushed a gruelling 20-month government investigation into our independence. Now the AEC has once again confirmed GetUp's independence!

First I wanted to say how proud I am of us as a movement. We stood together, fighting fiercely to create a better Australia and today we've beaten back the hard right's attack and had our independence, once again, reaffirmed.

It couldn't have been achieved without tens of thousands of GetUp members holding strong, speaking out and chipping in to save GetUp as we know it.

Now after 3 investigations, review by 3 independent agencies and 13 years of pressure I'll be personally delivering the AEC's decision to Eric Abetz's office tomorrow, to demand an end to the attacks and smears.

The actions of so many GetUp members led to this moment: More than 10,000 members funded the legal fight, spontaneously called into talkback radio or wrote letters to the editor, and chipped in to put our 'Statement of Independence' in full-page newspaper ads. This is your victory!

If you haven't read our Statement of Independence yet, click here to see it.

The AEC's decision sets an important legal precedent for what independent campaigning looks like in Australia. It looks like all of us, working together to fight for the world we want to see.

Most importantly, we won't alter anything about how we campaign or let the hard right intimidate us into silence or inaction – especially in the upcoming election. As our Statement of Independence states:

Together, we practice our independence through passionate political engagement. We judge parties and politicians by their policies, values and character — not their brand — then act accordingly…

...Elections are great change moments. Our movement engages fiercely whenever we have the opportunity and means to build a more fair, flourishing and just Australia for all.

Thank you for making GetUp strong and fiercely independent,
Paul for the GetUp team

PS – This outcome would simply not have been possible without the GetUp Crew -- everyday people who make a regular donation to fund our work. Because of them, we could respond urgently to this legal attack and had the support to keep going for 20 long months, without missing a beat on our critical campaign work. As we head into a nation-changing election campaign, can you join the GetUp Crew with a regular, weekly donation to support our independent campaign?

PPS – In the history of our movement, we will always remember the outpouring of member action when the hard right challenged our independence. See below for just some of the spontaneous responses that flooded into major newspapers.

I'm pretty sure the AEC are a left-wing propaganda unit, set up by the Labor Party and funded by the Unions.

Just sayin', is all.

It is the best possible result for the Liberals.

Imagine if they found Get up to be not independent ? Where would that leave the right wing disgrace that is NEWS LTD ?

I would say the lib's Get Up's equivalent should go to AEC for political ruling.  Also IPA while they are at it.

How true about the Lefties.

GetUp! is controlled AND funded by foreigners and is associated with George Soros and is highly antagonistic to anything that is NOT SOCIALIST and EVIL.

GetUp! is simply a propaganda unit for Labor and the Greenies.

Labor and GetUp! are as one.

There's no secret about how GetUp! is organized to be a propaganda mouth for Labor and the Greenies.

Get up can receive foreign donations as long as they are declared....The IPA is a similar organisation aligned to the Coalition and they do not disclose who has donated to them unless they agree to be revealed....Why do those on the right always ignore the facts to attack anyone who is not aligned to the racist right???

But Philly quoting anything from the Lefty biased ABC Socialist Propaganda Station is viewed as naive or absurd.

As GetUp! is clearly a political organization it should have to declare all donations. It is operating as a fraud. The same as the unions not being taxed.

Spot either you have been in exile for years or you just don't watch the ABC. Try Q&A or the DRUM for example.

Get up are allowed to receive foreign donations as long as they are declared you dickhead....Just like the IPA who refuse to disclose who donates to their cause....The biased graphic you posted was from the Lieberal Part you smacking idiot....Talk about hypocritical and stupid....You are a sewerage pipe mate....Hollow and full of crap!!!
