Hi, can I please speak with Senator [Senator’s name]?
The person will likely say they are unavailable to take a call. They may ask you to leave a message.
My name is [your name] and I live in [state/territory]. I’d like to raise with Senator [Senator's name] that I’m concerned about Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s announcement that Australia will sign the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership in early 2020.
I am concerned about ...
I am concerned about the RCEP because: (pick & choose which ones you want to mention)
That's why I am asking that Senator [Senator's name] call for the release of the text. I'm asking for an independent analysis of gender and other impacts of the deal.

Hear what their response is (they'll likely say they will pass the message on), thank the person for their time, & wrap up the call.
