To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament:
The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws the urgent attention of the House to the recent announcement that a number of Commonwealth Offices are to close in the electorate of Wakefield, including the Riverland Regional Medicare Office situated in Berri.
We are concerned about the job losses in the region and the flow-on effect on the local economy and future growth in the region. As these cuts appear to be the first in what could be an escalating range of cuts to public sector jobs, the potential for long term damage to this region's future is of major concern.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to support the retention of the Medicare Office in Berri, and oppose the public sector cuts being implemented now, or those planned for the future which affect our region.
byMr Andrew
