A few days ago I blacked out, had a dream about all young people being properly enrolled to vote, and this happened.

VIEW MISSY’s VIDEO MESSAGE ‘BE HEARD.’

Share it with your friends if you believe we should all have a say in the future of our country, or just to have a giggle at my expense. I would. I do! Then, go to: www.aec.gov.au/enrol.

Even if you think it won’t make a difference, or you’ve lost hope in our leaders (like a lot of us have)… let me tell you that every vote you make puts a little bit more power in the hands of the good people in the Senate. In other words, it’s not just about who becomes Prime Minister, there are plenty of other people in parliament who are doing great things, they just need your vote to give them a louder voice. And if anything, it will stop just one party from having COMPLETE CONTROL over everything. That’s a scary idea.

So get involved!

Be heard!

Thanks for watching.

Luv Missy

Tickets for Missy’s first ever live show in Broome were eagerly snapped up by fans this week, with the show at the iconic Sun Pictures on Friday June 14 selling out within 24 hours.

A second and final show in Broome has now been announced at Sun Pictures on Thursday June 13. Tickets are on sale now with net proceeds from both shows being donated to the Leukaemia Foundation, Kyle Andrews Foundation and the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Local favourite Naomi Pigram will also perform at the additional show. Naomi is one of the most exciting new Indigenous female artists to spring from the dynamic musical culture of Broome and has also fronted notable Indigenous bands such as One Strum and St Agne.

With tickets for the second show expected to sell quickly, fans are being urged to secure tickets early to avoid being disappointed.

Missy announced today that she is returning to her much loved city of Broome in Western Australia for a very special performance next week.

Performing an intimate acoustic set, Missy will play her first ever live show in Broome at the iconic Sun Pictures on Friday June 14. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday June 5, at 9am with net proceeds from the show being donated to the Leukaemia Foundation, Kyle Andrews Foundation and the Royal Flying Doctors Service.

Earlier this month, Missy was forced to cancel her performance at the Mothers Day Festival in Broome and she is now looking forward to making it up to local fans who missed out whilst also providing much needed support to several worthy organisations.

Also performing on the night will be local favourite Naomi Pigram. Naomi is one of the most exciting new Indigenous female artists to spring from the dynamic musical culture of Broome. Naomi has also fronted notable Indigenous bands such as One Strum and St Agne.

Missy is no stranger to Sun Pictures which is the world’s oldest picture garden still in operation. In 2009, the cinema hosted the premiere of the Western Australian made musical film Bran Nue Dae, in which Missy made her acting debut as the character of Annie.

Don’t miss what promises to be a special evening of music!

Due to circumstances beyond Missy’s control, she is unable to travel to Broome for this weekend’s Mother’s Day Music Festival.  Refunds will be available for ticket holders at the entry gate tomorrow (Saturday) from 4pm.  You will need to quote your Moshtix order number to process a refund.  Missy sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused by her unavoidable late cancellation and she hopes music fans will still head along to the festival for what promises to be a very special evening of music.

Fellow musicians Missy, John Butler Trio and Ball Park Music, with special guest Sea Shepherd Director Bob Brown are standing together to protect the Kimberley.

The free open-air Concert for the Kimberley will be held at 1.30pm at the Fremantle Esplanade on February 24 and will feature a protest march through the town.

“This concert and rally is a call to arms for all West Australians to stand up and protect one of our finest national treasures, The Kimberley,” said John Butler. “To think of industrialising this truly special region in order to exploit a resource which is more profitable and practical to process somewhere else seems absolutely ludicrous.“

“I’m happy to help in any way. This is such an important issue, about a place very dear to my heart. Australians deserve to know that one our great wilderness’ is in serious danger of being destroyed forever”

Wilderness Society WA Coordinator Peter Robertson said the Society was delighted to be working with Missy and John to defend the Kimberley.

“The future of the Kimberley, especially the controversial proposed gas hub, is now a major issue across Australia and will feature strongly in both State and Federal elections,” said Mr Robertson.

The spectacular wilderness of the Kimberley’s James Prices Point is under threat by oil and gas giants Woodside, Shell, BHP Billiton, BP, Mitsubishi and Mitsui who plan to build Australia’s biggest industrial development, a needless destruction of something too precious to lose forever.

The Kimberley coast is classed in the top 4{8c7182c8a34ec4ec9212ad453ffbf7291e5ae01fcacfb4928d4d46071654c352} of the least untouched marine environments in the world alongside the Arctic and Antarctic oceans. Its pristine waters are home to the world’s largest humpback whale nursery, and threatened dolphins, sea turtles and dugongs. The region is also a significant Indigenous heritage site, is home to the longest chain of dinosaur footprints on the planet, and has known populations of endangered bilby.
