MINISTER FOR THE ARTS FAILS TO ENSURE FUNDING FOR MUSEUM INFORMATION CENTREThe
Public Service Association (PSA) is aware that the South Australian
Museum has a budget shortfall which has caused a delay in the
establishment of the proposed I Zone Information
Center and Services.
As
a result of the budget constraints the Museum is left without a
comprehensive information service for the public and its regular
patrons until 2011, provided funds will then be made available. Also
a number of popular public programs have had to be discontinued or
restricted, including Indigenous Information Services and Indigenous
Education Programs.
The PSA is disappointed such popular programs have been either discontinued or limited and whilst Indigenous culture remains a focal point for tourism and cultural awareness these popular services and programs go unfunded and their importance appear unrecognised in real terms. The
budget shortfall has also caused concerns for current SA Museum
staff. The PSA will continue to fight to ensure that all affected
employees are afforded ongoing and meaningful employment.
Please
contact PSA Industrial Officer, Wayne Dungey should you have any
questions or comments on 8205 3238 or email wkd@cpsu.asn.au
