The federal government has cut funding to community legal centres by $50, 000 each. Eight community legal centres in regional areas have been forced to drop a solicitor and one centre, in WA has had to close. Liz Bishop, the Director of The National Association of Community Legal Centres says people in regional areas will miss out on free face to face legal advice as a result of the cuts.
