These petitions are pointless, sorry.
I disagree with you. Not all get their requests met, but many do. Numbers mean votes so a point comes when local politicians see their position at risk when there are very large numbers of people against what they are pushing. Mind you, being Qld, it's harder to say.
Unhappy voters vs money to politicians pockets? I guess it it obvious what will win.
