2013 Lobbying Toolkit

Ahead of the Australian Federal Election in 2013, the NEMBC put together a Lobbying Toolkit to help broadcasters lobby politicians and conduct in-depth political radio interviews.

Some lobbying ideas for broadcasters, in brief:

  • Hold a one-on-one interview with a politician
  • Invite a group of people from the community and a politician to discuss issues
  • Get your friends and colleagues together in a round table discussion
  • Invite candidates and political leaders to tour your station
  • Ask your listeners and community leaders to contact local candidates explain the importance of ethnic community radio and seek their support
  • Talk about funding for ethnic community broadcasting on your own program
  • Organise a forum or meeting at your community radio station
  • Write to political parties and political leaders outside of your program

For more information, browse through our Lobbying Toolkit:

  • How to run a media campaign – see p 21 of our Leadership Media Manual
  • radio tips for the 2013 election campaign
  • flyer of some basic facts on why ethnic and multicultural community broadcasting is important
  • the latest government inquiry showing that multiculturalism is a defining success story for Australia

Feel free to contact the NEMBC for further ideas or discussion of how you can use your role as a broadcaster to lobby for your community and the multicultural broadcasting sector.
