Socialist Women for Justice

Socialist Women for Justice is a 'ginger' group connected by email across Australia. Some are members of the Australian Labor Party but many are not. All are interested in lobbying governments on vital issues. In existence for two years the Group added its voice on various issues including the plight of David Hicks, refugees and mandatory detention, nursing homes, health, domestic violence and children 'at risk'. The latter is our current issue and we are now awaiting further discussion with the Minister for Education. While distance makes meeting difficult a breakfast is held in Taree, NSW once a month at a local cafe for those finding themselves within the vicinity. The first meeting next year is Jan 11, Raw Sugar Cafe Taree 2430 at 8.30am.
