<p dir="ltr">The APH website has the rules for petitions. Lower house ones must not be electronic in any way. Senate petitions can be, but must be presented to the senate by a senator. This means you can (and a handful of people have) get an interested senator to present your CSV to the senate, but <a href="http://change.org">change.org</a> etc. is universally redirected to /dev/null. Literally nobody, even grade 1 public servants, ever action or probably even see petition website output.</p>
