The impact bullying has on a person cannot be underestimated. Too many lives have been lost as a result of bullying.
Following the death of her young 15yr old sister Chloe Fergusson six months ago Cassie Whitehill has been campaigning tirelessly to introduce anti-bullying legislation, Chloe’s Law. Her fight is gaining momentum with many political parties saying they will examine the laws.
On Saturday Ms Whitehill has organised a rally and is asking Tasmanians to stand with her and say no to bullying. She wants to send a clear message to politicians ahead of the March 15 election.
“It is time to let the Tasmanian Government know that we will no longer tolerate this bullying epidemic that is destroying our families. Research shows that law reform is a crucial step in putting a stop to bullying. We are not simply going to go away.’’
Speakers will include Chloe’s Law founder, Cassie Whitehill, Vanessa Goodwin MP, Nick McKim MP, Brian Wightman MP and Deb Thurley PUP.
There will be musical entertainment from band Girl Friday and folk singer Hannah May as well as acrobatic act Pop Eyed and dancers from Linx School of Performing Arts.
WHEN: Saturday March 1 from 10am (speeches start at 11.30am).
WHERE: Parliament Lawns, Hobart.
