Fighting attacks on young people's rights

Issue 

By Katie Broadbent

ADELAIDE — Resistance is organising a protest against the federal government's attacks on Centrelink workers and the unemployed.

With "initiatives" like literacy tests and work for the dole, the Howard government is trying to shift the blame for unemployment on to unemployed youth.

The protest will demand that the federal government:

  • provide real jobs, not work for the dole;

  • stop Abstudy cuts;

  • stop Centrelink staffing cuts; and

  • provide a livable income for everyone.

Join us at 4.30pm, Friday, February 26, at the Commonwealth Centre.
