Stop the Secret Sell Off of NSW Public Services – Protest 21 September

Stop the Secret Sell Off of NSW Public Services – Protest 21 September (PDF version)

The NSW Government is undertaking a mass privatisation by stealth, with details on how they will affect the people of NSW shrouded in secrecy.

Members across Family and Community Services know how hard it is fighting cruel and sneaky privatisations such as the complete dismantling of ADHC and the failed privatisation of Out of Home Care.

Now it is time to step up and band together with PSA members from across the union and make a stand.

We must Stop the Secret Sell Off! View the Stop the Secret Sell Off site HERE.
