    Extraordinary Cuts - Non Funding of Aboriginal Communities &organisations

    Uploaded by

    api-258799153
    Aboriginal communities and organizations in South Australia are facing severe funding cuts or lack of funding from the Federal Government that threatens essential services. Large remote communities like those on the APY Lands have received no funding at all. Over 90% funding cuts have been made to regional Aboriginal communities, reducing their budgets to less than 10% of needed levels. Two-thirds of Aboriginal affairs funding is now going to non-Aboriginal organizations. The lack of funding appears aimed at making Aboriginal communities unsustainable, as the Prime Minister indicated. People are urged to contact the Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Minister for Indigenous Affairs Nigel Scullion to voice their concerns about the extraordinary cuts.

    EXTRAORDINARY CUTS or NON FUNDING of ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES

    &ORGANISATIONS
    Tony Abbott was the man who was going to be Prime Minister for Aboriginal
    people.
    The Office of Indigenous Affairs is part of the Department of Prime Minister and
    Cabinet.
    Nigel Scullion - the Minister for Indigenous Affairs or Against Indigenous Affairs?
    Already South Australian Aboriginal Communities dont know whether they will
    be getting water, power and other essential services funded. MUNS funding.
    The Federal Gov has pushed it over to the SA Government who refused to accept
    the one off offer of $10m as completely inadequate the SA gov are negotiating
    for more. Will it happen? and by the cut off date July 1 ?
    The latest news: the announcement of the budget allocations now known as
    Indigenous Advancement Strategy. IAS funding: the normal funding to run a
    Community apart from essential services. Last week Leaders in the communities
    were contacted to be told1)Aboriginal Communities in regional South Australia have been funded less than
    10% cut by 90% of their needed budget funding.
    2)Aboriginal remote Communities in South Australia
    *APY Lands including Amata, Pukatja (Ernabella), Indulkana big settlements as
    well as smaller comunities and homelands etc have received NO funding at all.
    *Maralinga Lands NO funding
    from a SA Aboriginal Community Leader 31/3/15

    Its about making Communities unsustainable.


    Thats the word the Prime Minister has given them.
    If they dont fund the communities, they come to what he says they are
    unsustainable.
    Aboriginal Organisations throughout Australia have also been severely
    cut
    Two thirds of the organisations to be now funded from Aboriginal Affairs
    money are non Aboriginal

    Please Tell Nigel Scullion Minister for Indigenous Affairs what


    you think of this.
