RWA CEO to Update REDWatch Meeting - 5 November 2009 http://www.redwatch.org.au/Events/091105redw In March 2009 The Minister for Redfern Waterloo Kristina Keneally and the new RWA CEO attended a REDWatch meeting with promises of changes in the way that the RWA related to the Community and addressed the areas issues. As 2009 draws to a close what has really changed? Redfern Waterloo – A Progress Report from the RWA

REDWatch invites you to its monthly meeting to hear:

Roy Wakelin-King

Redfern Waterloo Authority (RWA) CEO

Is the RWA listening to and working with the communities more? Are Human Services Shortcomings being addressed? Where is the consultation on Public Housing and BEP2? Can the RWA deliver an upgrade of Redfern Station that links the area together or is the station in the too hard basket? When will a decision be made about the Sale of North Eveleigh? Where is the Heritage and Tourism Taskforce and what protection will there be for heritage in the ATP Sale?

Hopefully these and many other questions will be answered.

6PM THURSDAY 5th NOVEMBER 2009

Factory Community Centre,

67 Raglan Street Waterloo

The Australian prison population has increased by nearly 50 per cent over the past ten years (ABS 2003). More alarming is the reported 110 per cent increase in the female prisoner population, the 8 per cent increase in the unsentenced prison population, and the 5 per cent increase in the Indigenous prisoner population over the same period.

“The advice to me is we have still got 500 cells empty. I don’t mind if we fill them up, and if we fill them up and have to build another jail, we’ll build another jail” (Premier Nathan Rees).

“As a Labor party activist in the inner city, and a branch secretary for more than 20 years, if this State Government goes any further down the track of privatisation of prisons, I could not in good conscience vote Labor in 2012 – and it hurts me to say that” (Trevor Davies, Co-Convenor, Social Justice Task Group, Sydney Presbytery of the Uniting Church). 

“It’s all too easy to treat people in poverty or with mental health and addiction problems as criminals, but what does it achieve? It’s time to admit the high cost, in human and financial terms, of the failed policies of successive State governments, and to rethink our approach to criminal corrections” (Rev. Andrew Collis, Managing Editor, The South Sydney Herald).

Presented by the South Sydney Herald  & the Social Justice Task Group of the Sydney Presbytery of the Uniting Church in Australia.
