The Better Decisions Made Faster Bill was debated late into Thursday night before Parliament finally paused. Itโs back tomorrow - and the Government wants it passed in a rush.

Enter your postcode and email all Upper House MPs in your region, plus key crossbenchers.
Tell them to refer the Bill to a full Parliamentary Inquiry before any vote.
Add a few lines about how planning decisions have affected your street, neighbourhood or farmland.
Parliament resumes Tuesday.
If we speak now, we can stop this. If we stay silent, the Bill rolls through Victoria - and so do the consequences.
