Simon Corbell is joining in the good news budget pre-announcement fiesta (imagine the whiteboard work on this lot) with an ABC friendly $666,000 for the women’s legal centre.
Attorney General, Simon Corbell, has announced $666,000 in the 2012-13 Budget to help the Women’s Legal Centre find new and more suitable accommodation so it can continue to provide important services to the community.
“Havelock House in Canberra’s Inner North is currently home to three community legal centres, and it has been a concern of the Women’s Legal Centre (WLC) about the space available to them to provide their service to the women of Canberra,” Mr Corbell said.
“The $666,000 funding, over three years, will also have positive flow-on effects by allowing more space in Havelock House for the community legal centres that reside there, like the Welfare Rights and Legal Centre, and the Tenants Union.
