Campaign Action Group

The QTU has established a group of members and retired members within the Union to inform the community and influence the decisions of the politicians who represent the community. This group is known as CAG - the Campaign Action Group.

Being a member of the Campaign Action Group lets you make a difference by doing something positive to support the pursuit of the Union's objectives.

CAG give those members, in the workplace or retired, disillusioned with our current political system, an opportunity to be involved.

About CAG

CAG consists of members  and retired members of the QTU committed to being involved in political campaigns organised by the Union.

CAG infuses grass roots campaigning within the QTU as a permanent feature.

How is this organised?

At a local level, each Organiser will co-ordinate his/her CAG and/or RAG group under the leadership of a Regional CAG/RAG Member Co-ordinator.

This local CAG and/or RAG group can undertake local campaigns specific to the area, as well as conducting statewide Union campaigns.

What do CAG members do?

CAG members are already;

  • organising delegations to MPs
  • organising rallies and demonstrations
  • organising meetings to gain support from community groups
  • supporting pro-public education MPs during elections
  • organising telephone campaigns
  • writing letters to the editor
  • engaging in talk back radio on relevant issues

The QTU has prepared a Guide for QTU CAG members to make you aware of your rights and to avoid any potential pitfalls in your activities.

The advice covers: your right of public comment; the Department's code of  conduct; and advice about the use of  radio talkback and print and online media.
