Dear Everyone, Some of you may be aware the Government has released a Discussion Paper on proposed changes to how property is divided upon marriage breakdown. (The Discussion Paper is available on the web at http://law.gov.au/mpl) Responses to the Discussion Paper are due 30 June 1999. The National Women's Legal Services Network has released an Issues Paper in response to the Discussion Paper to assist women in understanding what the Government is proposing and the impact of some of the proposed changes upon women. If you have not already received a copy, please telephone on 02 6257 4377 or email us and we will be more than happy to send you or email you a copy. Alternatively, you will find the Issues Paper on the web at http://www.nwjc.org.au/wlsn/ The National Women's Legal Services Network is encouraging organisations to prepare their own submission or to forward responses to us (either by fax, post or email). We had proposed an original closing date for responses to be 18 June 1999 - however we are extending this date to 28 June 1999. Please forward this through your networks Regards, Juliette Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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
