The long term cost benefit will outweigh the immediate costs associated with maintaining and growing one of the few useful programmes designed to support Aboriginal men.

This Aboriginal Men's group does a fantastic job helping change the lives for our Aboriginal Men, so Senator Scullion as a Mnager of an Aboriginal Meical Service please support this most valuable program, as I do, thank you.

I ask the federal Government to reassess its funding of Babana, and to support the work of this organisation.

Babana are making positive changes in so many ways. This is outrageous! A review of the Babana IEP application rejection is so needed.

Babana Mens gorup make a difference for so many people; Men, Women and Children. They coordinate so many community enriching programs, it would be a travesty if they were not able to continue the good work!

Babana has the Aboriginal community on board, loads of support from all over Australia and some great Aboriginal Leaders who are innovative and lead the way in Aboriginal service delivery. I am shocked that this has happened with everything Babana is involved in and does for our comminty and many others. It would be sad to see all the hard work go to waste what a shame. Shame on Twiggy Forrest and Warren Mundine Shame.

If we're shut down who is going to hold the community events and show support to aboriginal people like what we have done in the past???

Babana has an impact on the lives of disadvantaged indigenous people that goes well beyond its size and limited resources. Please get this petition out to as many people as you can.

This is a real slap in the face to all those great people at Babana that are making real change!

This will be a tragic outcome for our Aboriginal community in Sydney.

Babana has helped so many lives and this service is crucial to them continuing to do so. Community will be disadvantaged if this service does not continue.

Babana is the best IEP in Sydney bar none. Better results than any other IEP.

Most of the job service providers are bloody incompetent and absolutely useless. It's a frustrating experience dealing with them. Most are just tick a box companies (in a corrupt system) with "Case managers" often not even formally trained themselves to help job seekers. I have no doubt that Babana can provide the assistance to Aboriginal job seekers (and value to the taxpayer) and deliver the outcomes . Grant Babana their IEP application, they can do no worse than what is currently available.

Babana have made significant inroads into the successfull & sustained employment of Indigenous peoples on Redfern & the wider Sydney community. If this vital work of helping our people off welfare & into sustainable employment, then it is imperative that access to the IEP be made available & I earnestly seek a review of the decision to reject the funding to Babana

While the indigenous community is moving forward with these types of initiatives the mainstream government continues to pull the rug from beneath. The Australian people need to step up and support this petition. It's not right or acceptable to remove funding for a program that produces results in a much needed space.

Babana does a fantastic job in the community and have been succesfully placing Indigenous people in sustainable employment.under the IEP program, so why would the IEP application not be approved if Babana are having proven outcomes through the IEP program.
