NSW: Catholics wants summit to focus on families

A Catholic lobby group says stronger families .. and more cohesive communities .. should
be the focus for the Australia 2020 Summit.

FRANK QUINLAN .. executive director of Catholic Social Services Australia .. says he'll
put those three goals forward for consideration at this weekend's summit.

Mr QUINLAN says Australia must develop anti-poverty targets for 2020 if the government's
social inclusion agenda is to have real meaning for the most disadvantaged citizens.

He says we also have to take politics out of the welfare system .. and the summit must
make plans to build a strong .. vibrant .. high quality community sector for the future.
