Webcast of NCOSS Forum in Maitland, 10.30am-12noon, 30 July 2010

Vote 1 Fairness in NSW


Dear colleagues


Each year, NCOSS visits different rural and regional locations across NSW to identify critical social policy and human services issues. This year our visits have a focus on the 2011 NSW State Election and the NCOSS Election platform Vote 1 Fairness in NSW.

A forum has been organised in Maitland on 30 July 2010 which will provide:

- an overview of the NCOSS 2011 NSW Election Platform Vote 1 Fairness in NSW

- a consultation on the key issues in the area

- feedback on NCOSS policy work and the 'big' issues facing the sector

The forum will also include an opportunity for representatives of NSW political parties to discuss their policy positions and why they are a vote for fairness. Participants will include Frank Terenzini, MP, Member for Maitland; The Hon Robyn Parker MLC (NSW Liberal Candidate for Maitland) and Cate Faehrmann (NSW Greens). The forum will be facilitated by Alison Peters, NCOSS Director, and Solange Frost, NCOSS Senior Policy Officer.

In an effort to allow as many people as possible to participate NCOSS is making use of technology to webcast parts of our forums. On this occasion we will be webcasting the session involving the politicians.

The webcast from Maitland will take place from 10.30am-12noon, 30 July 2010 at the following link (if the technology works!): http://www.ncoss.org.au/content/view/3475
