Dear Friend, 1st February, 1999 Justice Action would like to invite you and organisations to participate at a forum on law and order on Tuesday 23 February 1999. The forum will take place in the Theatrette at Parliament House NSW, from 3pm to 5pm. It will be chaired by Quentin Dempster. The forum will be an opportunity for a cross-section of political parties to present their pre-election law and order policies and for the media and public to scrutinise and ask questions of them. Six political parties will be asked to present their policies and views on the main causes of crime, ways to counter crime and their opinion on a range of issues such as: � increasing police powers and weaponry � drug law reform � prisoners' right to vote � alternatives to increasing police and prisons, e.g. restorative justice and the Young Offenders Act. The media and a wide range of community groups have been invited to raise issues and questions to the panel of political parties. The afternoon will be a high profile media opportunity to raise concerns with the direction of the election debate, shortly before the election. We look forward to your participation. If you would like any more information or to discuss further please contact me on 02 9281 5100. Yours sincerely Kilty O'Gorman Justice Action 391 Sussex St, Haymarket NSW 2000, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: 0011-61-2-9281-5100 fax: 9281-5303 Please log into the Justice Action website, designed and sponsored by Breakout Design & Print, exercising good corporate citizenship: http://www.breakout.nlc.net.au/JA.html LL.NB
