Fed: Govt to axe regional development network: coalition
The federal opposition's accused the government of adding to the country's dole queues
.. with up to 150 people set to lose their jobs when the Regional Development Australia
network closes.
Opposition regional development spokesman and Nationals leader WARREN TRUSS says it'll
also affect about 500 community volunteers .. when the network's absorbed into state regional
development boards.
Mr TRUSS says it appears there are no arrangements to allow for the transition of RDA
staff to the state-based bodies when it wraps up on June 30.
He says local communities will have to wade through layers of state government bureaucracy
to have their voice heard at the national level.
