Centrelink wants to close its South Melbourne office on Friday 22 June.
They say that the landlord wants unreasonable rent and they cannot find
another office in the area. This is an outright lie. Real estate agents
contacted by the local council and local MP found several suitable new sites
in only 20 minutes.
The real problem is government cuts to services under the guise of a
"business-style" Centrelink. Please come to the protest:
PROTEST - 11AM Friday 22 June
MEET at South Melbourne Town Hall, Bank Street, South Melbourne (near
Clarendon Street).
MARCH to South Melbourne Centrelink, 123 Cecil Street, South Melbourne
SPEAKERS AND ENTERNTAINMENT from 11:30am at South Melbourne Centrelink
Wheelchairs welcomed and encouraged.
Organisations participating in convening the rally: Community and Public
Sector Union, City of Port Phillip, Victorian Council of Social Services,
Emerald Hill Mission
Other endorsements: Southpoint Parks Inter-Church Council, the Community
Alliance of Port Phillip
