Culture Jamming

Jasmine, Madelyn & Taylor. 

Ideas for Culture Jam

• Lowering the driving age to 15 instead of 17
• People can get their Learners license at 14 and their Driving permit at 15 years.
• This is being assessed in QLD only by Anna Bligh, with a quote:
• "Keep Australia in tune with America, where this driving rule is already in place." (post photo of young girl with L sticker) maybe take a video of a child opinion of the age change.
• Twitter page with a petition for people to follow (URL of page on Ireport.com) 
• using people like anna bligh and parliment officials to agree to pledge.
