It made my morning to see an article on Voices for Justice in our local newspaper, The Manly Daily (page 10). There's a great pic of Cathy Green, Doug Sewell, Michelle Dobbs, Nerissa Pragnell, Jules Shute and Mel Harwin. In response, I wrote a short letter to the editor. Even if it doesn't get printed, I'm posting it here!
Re: 'Residents lobby on poverty'
I was part of the Voices for Justice gathering last week. Having spent the past five years in Cambodia, I've seen poverty rob people of their rights, freedom and dignity. Our Australian government needs to increase the overseas aid budget to 0.7% of National Income to see global poverty halved by 2015.
