This morning Green Councillors Dominic Wy Kanak (Waverley) and Murray Matson (Randwick City) took part in the rally outside Peter Garret’s Office against the forced closure of WAYS Youth Services.
Cr Matson said,
“I felt frustrated when told by rally organisers that there will be a reduction in operating hours of their youth center which caters to youth-at-risk. Just last week I successfully moved that some Council funds be used for an at risk youth programme in Lexington place – now I learn that the Federal Government is cutting back its own funding in this very area. One step forward, two steps back!”.
Cr Wy Kanak stated that he was in liaison with Green Senators to see what could be done at a Commonwealth level to address the situation.
