About this episode
In Australia the not-for-profit sector employs over a million people, and it’s growing.
Much of this growth is driven by charities accepting government grants to deliver essential services to our most vulnerable.
But these grants come with strict contractual obligations, which effectively prevent organisations from holding government agencies to account.
Frontline workers say that this can mean that the people they’re supposed to be helping are instead sidelined and betrayed.
Today, contributor to The Monthly Russell Marks on how charities are becoming complicit in their own silencing.
