In person talk

Join the Parliament of NSW to explore the power of everyday voices through the ages.

In Petitions: the power of voices, you will be introduced to a selection of historic petitions received by the Parliament of NSW, and learn how everyday citizens have sought to influence, among other things – the shape of the New South Wales, women’s rights, as well as the state’s morals.

Meet parliamentary experts who will reveal the stories of past petitions and learn how you can get involved today.

Petitions: the power of voices takes place in Australia's oldest parliament with an optional tour of the legislative chambers.
