ACM is asking that similar celebrations take place in Australia. Above all there should be a Diamond Jubilee Medal to honour Australians in all fields such as service, the arts, sports, bravery and so on.
A petition to our governments and parliaments to honour The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 may be signed here
Earlier this year we wrote to all federal, state, territory and opposition leaders calling on them to put in place appropriate celebrations.
Now the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, Sentor Kate Lundy, has been tasked with deciding on a Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medial for next year.
Those concerned can post a comment on the Senator's Facebook Wall or contact her otherwise concerning their views about the Diamond Jubilee. They can sign the petition here
