Mend It, Australia has been an action group or #voicesforrepair for over a decade and mostly on a daily basis! Like the Australian Repair Network, our group also works pro bono to support the Australian Repair Movement.

The re-elected Labor Government has another opportunity to introduce right to repair reforms that have been recommended since November 2021. Will it have the courage, this time around?

There is too much stuff especially electrical that works yet gets binned.
These items could be donated to needy folk!
Things like computers, TV’s, fridges/freezers, vac cleaners all working!
It’s a ridiculous situation throwing working items away.

More energy is therefore consumed. Let’s lead again
