Funding cuts to Aboriginal services in State Budget
Posted on: Fri 14 Sep 2018
The State Government has committed to its election promise and allocated $1.3 million towards establishing and supporting the role of Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People in this year’s State Budget.
However, there are some alarming proposed cuts to various Aboriginal services, including Marni Wodli Youth Accommodation Services and South Australian Native Title Services (SANTS), which the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement is calling for the State Government to overturn.
ALRM CEO, Cheryl Axleby, speaks to Small Change‘s Ross Womersley about these cuts and their impact, and the more promising news from the Budget.
