Please keep up the flow of food and toiletries for the ASRC. Just remember that hundreds of people rely on the generosity of Melbourne folk, purely to survive. Don't forget Met tickets of any variety or denomination are also very welcome.

Special thanks to the volunteers who have offered to collect goods from the Living and Learning Centre and deliver them to the ASRC in West Melbourne. We acknowledge, with thanks, their help in this most worthwhile cause.

There is now a collection box at the Panton Hill Living and Learning centre as well.

There is obviously a lot of opposition to the proposed government's harsh new bill to amend it's immigration policy, both within the party and in the Senate. It's a constant barrage of letters from people like us, that can help prevent this draconian legislation from going through the Senate. So keep up the letter writing. The government will not present the Bill if they think it is going to fail.

Thanks to Steve Herbert's Office for photocopying.
