Future directions of welfare policy in Australia: See: http://www.facs.gov.au/dss/dss.nsf/whatnew/29_9_99speech.htm excerpt from above page: "During the next few months, the Reference Group will be meeting with representatives from relevant peak organisations. It is also seeking the views of interested groups and the broader community. If you or your organisation would like to make a contribution on this important issue, please send your written submission to: Welfare Reform Review PO Box 7788 Canberra MC 2600 All submissions should be received by 17th December 1999. Submissions may also be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] " To view the Terms of Reference for the Welfare Reform Reference Group, see: http://www.facs.gov.au/dss/dss.nsf/whatnew/trmsofref.htm Note: I hope that as many people as possible will contribute with submissions to ensure that we end up with a fair system, and not a cost cutting exercise. ____________________________________________________________________________ Snez Plunkett e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.peninsula.starway.net.au/~snezp/ ____________________________________________________________________________ -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
