To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament:

The petition of certain citizens of Australia draws the attention of the House to: the continuing high levels of unemployment in Sydney's south-west and the decrease in Federal Government funding to successful labour market programs in the area, including the SkillShare program and the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme, leading to the closure of employment centres and a reduction in the number of people in the area able to utilise these programs.

Your petitioners therefore pray that the House recognises the deleterious effect that such a reduction in funding could have on employment levels in the south-west Sydney region, and restores Federal Government funding of labour market programs to 1995/96 levels.
