National Apology & What the Ministers said

FA Apology Motion Day 1

Forgotten Australians is for those who were in various institutions as children, there were many reasons why, orphaned because of war etc., being born to a single mother, domestic voilence, divorce sepration poverty and some parents could not cope. Others were placed into these institutions through private arrangements involving payments to the Institution. How they were placed in care was not their fault. Because of their upbringing this group of people are in need of services such as; health, dental, basic life skills, and a decent education, and they are needed NOW!

Forgotten Australians Victorian Action Lobby Group meets with DHS 12/02/2010

Friday 12th of Feb

Forgotten Australians Victorian Action Lobby group met up with DHS, to discuss the many issues that face FA's.

On Top of the agenda was housing supported by a proposal for affordable housing for the many low income Forgotten Australians. Although we had soon learnt, DHS is guided by the policies of the present Government so their hands are tied. It would be fair to say as a Lobby action group we all learnt something, the meeting was not what we had expected.

Although we may have been talking to the horse, it was not the end we had hoped we would be talking to.

Next meeting we hope to put that in place with the Minister for Mental Health, Community Services and Senior Victorians Ms Lisa Neville, we hope that she will give us the courtesy of allowing us to present to her our proposal and later on we can arrange further meetings with the minister in the near future.

I would hasten to add we are all new to this so hopefully over time we will get to understand the protocols of negotiating with the various ministers.

There are many things we as an action group need to do but small steps are more meaningful and less chance of mistakes, over the next twelve months we hope to make our presence felt in Parliament as well as at many sporting events that are going on around the country.

To all those who were present the Forgotten Australians Victorian Action Lobby group would like to thank all, who attended and look forward to a very active twelve months.
