Hi Leftlinkers Radical Women invites you all to our upcoming meeting: "Stop Welfare Fraud - No more handouts to the rich!"
Tuesday, 25 February, 7.00 pm On orders from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Howard=B9s Government is planning the biggest ever assault on welfare. One scheme is to "encourage working families and individuals to help themselves" by slashing benefits. The other is to hand over more Centrelink operations to private companies. In this latest pick-pocketing of the poor in order to add to the treasures of the rich, women would be robbed the most. Come along to hear Deb Carlon from the Council of Single Mothers and their Children and Alison Thorne, an activist in the Community & Public Sector Union, unravel this scam and its consequences. Join us in discussing how welfare workers and recipients resisting together can stop it. A refreshing summertime dinner will be served at 6.30 pm for a $6.50 donation. At Solidarity Salon, 580 Sydney Rd, Brunswick (between Blyth and Stewart Sts).
