Everybody Counts - Election 2010

Through this election campaign ANGLICARE will continue to work and advocate in communities to build a society in which everybody counts.

Major church groups call for a ten year plan to overcome poverty           Anglicare Australia, Catholic Social Services Australia, The Salvation Army and UnitingCare Australia have joined forces to call on the new government to develop a 10 year national plan to overcome poverty and disadvantage.  This call comes at the end of an election campaign that they describe as, at best, ignoring and, at worst, further entrenching the disadvantage of many.

No room for compassion in marginal campaign           Following the final federal election party launch yesterday Anglicare Australia Executive Director Kasy Chambers described the campaign as one that that has shown little interest in the most vulnerable members of our community. 

"The national message about expecting nothing for nothing seems to extend to election promises if you are on the margins of society, and not in a marginal seat" said Ms Chambers today.

Anglicare Australia has pointed to the experience of its member organisations around the country in support of the call from ACOSS and others today for positive action for young people who are out of work.“What Anglicare Australia would like to see is an investment in local collaborative responses to the complex challenges faced by so many of our young people, rather than the broad brush stand alone initiatives we have seen in the past”
