Your details will be added to a mailing list to receive information about CHOICE products (including CHOICE, CHOICE Online and CHOICE Campaigns), to get updates on CHOICE Food for Kids, or both, depending on the option(s) you nominate.
2. Speak out! This section of our website enables you participate in our campaigns on food issues. This will usually involve either signing a petition or sending a letter. You must provide your name, email address and postcode so we can deliver your message. In particular we need you to give us your postcode as campaign petitions and letters may be sent to local MPs or State Ministers. Your name (and email address in the case of letters) will appear on the message that is sent. Your name and email address will also be stored on a database for our records. Information about the number of people responding to a particular campaign may be reported but this reporting will not identify individuals or individual comments.

3. Blog spot. You must provide your name and email address so that the moderator of the blog can contact you if your comments don’t comply with the terms and conditions of the blog but could be published if minor revisions are made.. Nominating your State/Territory of residence is optional. Your email address will not be published, but your name will appear under your blog comment unless you opt to be published anonymously. Once published your comments are in the public domain. Please see our Terms and Conditions relating to blog comments for details about contributing to this feature.
