The Albanese Government has announced the sale of 67 ADF sites across Australia.

While some sites might be suitable for sale, among them are irreplaceable pieces of our national story. Once sold, they are gone forever.

I am launching an ambitious campaign aimed at forcing the government to rethink the sale of important heritage defence sites, and I need you standing with me.

Labor says these sales are about modernising our defence estate. But the truth is this is about plugging holes in an inadequate defence budget that Labor refuses to fund properly.

The RSL has called for a rethink. Heritage bodies are sounding the alarm. And I am fighting this in the Senate, in the media, and in the community.

But I cannot do it without your support. Please sign the petition and encourage your friends and family to join us in this fight.
