About Your Opinion Matters
Your Opinion Matters is a community space for sharing ideas and petitions. The goal is simple: make it easier for everyday people to be heard, and to highlight the issues and solutions that matter most.
Why this site exists
Good ideas often get lost because they’re scattered across social media or never reach the right people. This site collects community feedback in one place so it’s easier to view, discuss, and support.
How it works
- Submit an opinion or a petition using the forms on this website.
- Submissions are reviewed before being published.
- Posts may be summarised so visitors can quickly understand the main point.
- People can support, suggest changes, or disagree respectfully.
- If an idea gains strong support, it may be escalated into a petition or shared with relevant decision-makers.
What we publish
- A short summary of the idea/petition
- The main topic (and sometimes the general area/suburb or postcode)
- Respectful comments and constructive suggestions
What we don’t publish
- Email addresses, phone numbers, or private contact details
- Personal attacks or identifying details about private individuals
- Anything that could put someone’s safety at risk
Community guidelines
- Be respectful — disagree without abuse
- Keep it constructive: suggest improvements where possible
- Don’t post defaming claims or name private individuals
- No hate speech, threats, or harassment
- Don’t share private information (yours or anyone else’s)
Privacy
Contact details may be collected to help verify submissions and manage moderation. They are not displayed publicly.
