'Women in the Blue Mountains will have better access to drug and alcohol treatment programs as a result of additional funding being provided by the Australian Government.

Assistant Minister for Health, Senator Fiona Nash, said today the Government would provide immediate additional funding to the Blue Mountains Drug and Alcohol Recovery Service, to help it to meet increased demand.

“The recent devastating bushfires have impacted heavily on many Blue Mountains people,” Senator Nash said.

Member for Macquarie Louise Markus MP welcomed the additional funding.'

Of course. But another thing: the amt. of $ they're talking is a pittance. And really, suppose the ppl affected by these fires might need other things a bit more imminently?

Ugh.
