More support sought for Wagga refugees, NSW

Aug 04, 2008

The Opposition's Parliamentary Secretary for Immigration and Citizenship, Louise Markus, met representatives of Wagga Wagga's African community at the end of last week.

Mrs Markus says there is an obvious need for more funding.

"There's one-and-a-half caseworkers for 300 clients and obviously the funding at this point of time is insufficient, so you would need to increase the level of funding in some cases to be able to provide that," she said.
