With the Keep Me Posted team and speakers representing the local community, the Forums are a great opportunity to have a discussion between residents, political representatives, and local representatives of charities and businesses, to explore how the issue of unfair billing practices is affecting Australian households.
After a short presentation, the panel will collect people’s testimonials and hear about how paper fees impact the local community. The Keep Me Posted team will also provide advice and assistance to the community on how to fight back against the charges.
Please join us to share your experience and hear advice from the panel!
Thanks for sharing details with anyone who isn’t online and might be interested.
