Abstract

'The untimely abolition of the Community Development Employment Program'. This paper was prepared as a submission to the Senate Community Affairs Committee Inquiry into the Family Assistance and Other Legislation Amendment (2008 Budget and Other Measures) Bill 2008. It focuses on proposed changes to the Social Security Act 1991 that would facilitate changes to the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) scheme, and examines the serious potential consequences of abolishing CDEP as currently formulated in non-remote areas by July 2009 and remote areas by July 2011.
