But for advocates and campaigners, the BBQs and cake stalls signal the start of a different kind of marathon - the First Hundred Days of the newly elected parliament. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/rewriting-the-rules-of-engagement monthly 0.5 2022-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/1652302004914-W0DZGUT76EYBC6DIPWOA/unsplash-image-oYbFTyI6Ijk.jpg Blog - Rewriting the Rules of Engagement - The post-election landscape can present a depressing vista for some campaigners. If you’re involved in any kind of social change advocacy, then it’s highly likely your work, tactics and strategy involve some form of direct engagement with politicians - and when the dust settles it might be your best champion who is out of a job, or has been shuffled somewhere else, and you feel like you’re back to square one. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/for-whom-the-poll-tolls monthly 0.5 2022-05-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/1652700080070-CQSZKU5GX023FR648Y4A/unsplash-image-T9CXBZLUvic.jpg Blog - For whom the poll tolls - It’s the Monday morning after the election, the political world is buzzing, and you’re already short on time and juggling a lot. There’s no time to research all the new faces that have appeared in the halls of power overnight - are they friend or foe? Ally or enemy? Will they champion your cause or do their darndest to set it back? You know a broad-brush, party-wide approach won’t pay big dividends for your NGO, which is why you need a shortlist with a clear rationale for who you should approach and why. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/unlocking-doors-in-the-new-parliament monthly 0.5 2022-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/1653297176692-0D193WYVC9DOI0Y8I6H5/unsplash-image-E_MW-0Kw54s.jpg Blog - Unlocking doors in the new parliament - As the dust begins to settle on Australia’s long (long, long, long) awaited climate election, and celebrations among the campaigners and organisations who have been slavering for a greener political landscape subside, the question turns to exactly what each new member stands for, and whether you can get them on board to champion your cause, when hundreds of other advocates from across the country are jockeying to do the same. We might be in the middle of a green wave, but that doesn’t mean that every newly elected Teal or freshly-minted Green is passionate about plastic in the oceans, or reckons getting rid of Yellow Crazy Ants is more important than transitioning away from coal and gas. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/canberra-is-a-brand-new-zoo-so-know-whos-who monthly 0.5 2022-07-29 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/respect-find-out-what-it-means-to-me monthly 0.5 2022-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/1655685713620-CCJNLZCW0P54AB0OM0NB/unsplash-image-qWN1rwDaNIo.jpg Blog - R.E.S.P.E.C.T.—Find out what it means to me (and the women of Australia) - This election, Australia’s women spoke up loud and clear. Hundreds of thousands of words have already been written about the women who turned against Scott Morrison's government, and regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum, for many voters this was a defining issue. The problem of gendered violence in particular has climbed up the national agenda of late, and while this issue has been getting more attention thanks to the likes of remarkable victim-survivor advocates, it is also going to take vocal champions inside the halls of power to create the change we so desperately need. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/fronting-up monthly 0.5 2022-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/1660541803487-6GFMJB0PTBNK32MK6L4Q/unsplash-image-9HI8UJMSdZA.jpg Blog - Fronting up to the new Frontbench - It’s been a big month in Canberra for parliament’s newbies, with 46 fresh faces making their way to the nation’s capital for the first time. Snippets of poignant, stirring first speeches have peppered our newsfeeds, as Australia welcomes its most diverse and representative crop of MPs and senators ever. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/shaq-attack monthly 0.5 2022-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/1662679554162-AQSZHM31KX8C6FVNP5WN/unsplash-image-C3T8KTZxTFM.jpg Blog - Shaq attack - Today we're launching our new series, ‘Under the Campaign Hood’, in which we take a closer look at some of the specific projects and campaigns that we’re engaged with that illuminate different perspectives on our work and how we put theory into practice. First up, Marg explores how the insidious nature of the gambling industry manages to manipulate and co-opt the social capital of worthwhile causes and trusted public figures and unpicks how seemingly innocent media moments are benefitting an industry that extracts $25 billion from the community each year and the uphill battle gambling reform advocates face everyday. https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23advocacy monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23ngo monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23NFP monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/campaigns monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/gamblingreform monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23impactcollective monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/gambling monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23changemakers monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23auspol2022 monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/blog/tag/%23forpurpose monthly 0.5 https://impactcollective.com.au/team daily 0.75 2022-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62340ddf8230c030ef235447/2ff5c675-51a5-454b-9599-dd2f2d68a76d/HeadshotMQ-BW.jpg Team - STRATEGY & ADVOCACY SPECIALIST Margaret Quixley With more than 15 years in the nonprofit sector, Margaret is an expert at designing and delivering campaigns that win.
