Info on Australian activism opportunities

Is there a mailing list or something that updates people on rallies/petitions/government calls for comment(*) etc in Australia? I mainly heard about these things via Twitter and Facebook and have stopped reading both of those because they are Not Good For Me.

If one doesn't exist, part of me wants to make one, if I could get people who do read Facebook etc to submit to it. It feels like a useful resource, I can't be the only person who hates having to sift through 10000 "this is why X is bad" posts to find the odd "this is what you can to actually try to fix X" one. But it might be too much work and stress for me, unless I could get co-mods. *throws the idea into the ether*

I like [community profile] spoonlessactivists in theory but most of it isn't relevant to me, and all the requests for money for individual people make me anxious in a way charity posts don't, for some reason.

(*)I don't go to rallies myself, but like being able to pass the info on. Personally I am more interested in stuff like "Here advice on contacting your local representative about X", when I happen to have the energy to do something like this I often get stalled not knowing who I should be talking to about what, and how.
