DOCS Disability Services PUBLIC RALLY OUTSIDE NSW PARLIAMENT Date: 26 July 1999 Author: Public Service Association of NSW ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- As part of the continuing campaign to prevent privatisation of group homes, i.e. the houses run by the Department of Community Services for people with disabilities, the Public Service Association, People with Disabilities, NSW Council for Intellectual Disability, and the Statewide Disability Coalition are organising a PUBLIC RALLY. The rally will assemble at HYDE PARK, Sydney (near St James Station) at 11.30 am, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. At about NOON everyone will march to PARLIAMENT HOUSE. September 7 is the first day of the new session of Parliament. We expect members from Disability Services and people from welfare and community groups to turn out in force. The NSW Government's decision to privatise DOCS' Group Homes without prior consultation with families, welfare people and the union and its members shows a total disregard by the Government for people with disabilities, their families and carers. Show the politicians that you care about the welfare of the most vulnerable citizens of New South Wales. If you work in the vicinity, put this date in your diary.
