[Welfare? How about Relationship Service? Social Services? After all it is taxpayers who support it, not the ruling class or religion.]
Father Joe Caddy, chairman of the service, says the program has been under review for almost eight years, and funding has not kept up with increasing demand.
"The family relationship support programs were beginning to fall over, they were so lacking in funding," he said.
"We've had to reduce some of our services around the country from between 30 to 80 per cent so it's tremendous that that family relationship support services can be put back into place and be put on a reasonable footing."
Father Caddy has also welcomed the Prime Minister's announcement of the establishment of a new national community-based network of family relationship centres, providing mediation for separation and child custody disputes.

Joe Blowback: Put your hand out and people like John Howard [war criminals from the ruling class], will give you money for votes. But not religion. I say keep religion out of families and give the money to an independent and qualified relationship service provider and not to a church.
