As part of the ACT Select Committee on Estimates’ report tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 5 August, there was a recommendation that there be an immediate increase in the Emergency Financial and Material Aid program at Kippax.   The Government is currently considering the report and will be responding next week.   The recommendation falls within Minister Gentleman’s portfolio responsibility.
If the recommendation is acted upon, this increase will make a substantial difference to households in financial and other stress.
