Sample email:
Subject line: Say NO to privatisation
Body Text:
Dear Member of the NSW Legislative Council,
I ask you to oppose any attempt by Premier Iemma and Treasurer Costa to privatise NSW's electricity retailers and lease out the generators.
The government is acting without a mandate. Morris Iemma ruled out privatisation before the last election. Now he is claiming he does not even need legislation to make it happen.
Privatisation will lead to higher bills, fewer jobs and reduced services. It will make it harder for NSW to cut its CO2
emissions, at a time when the NSW government should instead be using its control over the electricity industry to transition us to a clean energy future. Better energy efficiencies are the solution which will protect the environment, and keep the lights on.
I urge you to represent the views of your constituents on this important matter and oppose electricity privatisation.
Sincerely,
[insert name and address here]
