E-Card Campaign - Close the Gap in this years Federal Budget

Now is the time to show your support for the apology of 13 February and urge the Government to carry forward their promises. The Social Action Office has launched an e-card urging the government to allocate the additional $460 million (the amount recommended in the Oxfam CLOSETHEGAP campaign) in this year’s federal budget to set up the action plan and programs to achieve better health outcomes for Indigenous Australians. Government departments are working on budget submissions for the 2008/2009 budget now.
There are 2 cards – one to the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, and the other to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Jenny Macklin. Click here to access the e-card from the SAO website. http://www.sao.clriq.org.au/indigenous_issues/indig_health_ecard.html
