Participation and Protection in the Privatised State
CONFERENCE ON 30 JULY 1999
The Consumer Law Centre Victoria is holding a conference to examine
participation by, and protection of, the community at a time when so many
traditionally government owned services have been, or are being,
privatised. Topics include: What is the privatised State? What are the
costs and benefits of privatisation? How do citizens participate in the
privatised State? What protections are available in the privatised
State? How are they accessed? Do they work? Speakers and panel members
include:
Allan Asher, Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
Jo Benvenuti, Investigations and Policy, Energy Industry Ombudsman Victoria
Michael Funsten, Consumer Credit Legal Centre (NSW)
Amanda George, Brimbank Community Legal Centre
Terry Laidler, 3LO Radio
Tim Lee, Australian Services Union
Gavin McFadzean, The Wilderness Society
Barbara Romeril, Financial & Consumer Rights Council
Joseph O'Reilly, City of Moreland
Lou Schetzer, National Children's and Youth Law Centre
John Tamblyn, Regulator-General, Victoria
This will be an invaluable opportunity for managers and staff of community
agencies, academics, students and other advocates to hear from, and
question, those involved in designing, participating in, or commentating
upon, the privatised State.
