Submit!

The Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee has called for submissions on the government's free trade deal with China. Two copies, by Wednesday, 7 May 2008, to

Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Secretariat
Parliament Buildings
Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade is a backwards committee, and does not accept electronic submissions.

If you have a strong opinion on the FTA, then you should probably let Parliament know about it, if only to force them to publicly justify their actions. Making a submission is not difficult - it can be as simple as writing a letter saying "I support/oppose the bill" and giving reasons why. If you're not sure, check out the Clerk's online guide here.
