4.5 years evidence from thousands, and media don’t get it. Today’s photo. Reducing us to our impairments. We are disembodied, pathologised, equated to the sum $ of the NDIS. The courage, the strength the call for human rights is so much more #DisabilityRights The New Daily

The expected enrolment is estimated on the proportion of the population with disability,adjusted for age profile and profound disability, which is assumed to preclude participation in higher education. Have we just assumed away the next Stephen Hawkings? #inclusiveEducation #crpd

Four & half years of deeply personal & traumatic evidence and the underwhelming response is ‘business as usual’ #DisabilityRC #DisabilityRoyalCommission #CRPD Australian Human Rights Commission humanrights.gov.au/about/news/med…

So disappointing kids with disability let down. #DisabilityRoyalCommission rec 8.22 raising age criminal responsibility to 14 over-representation of kids with disability in criminal justice system. VIC offered hope & now that’s gone #CRPD Australian Human Rights Commission theage.com.au/politics/victo…

I acknowledge @billshortenmp & his role in the #NDIS, listening to people with #disability understanding we deserve an equal place in our society. ‘He did it his way’, and we may not have always agreed, but he deserves recognition for this lasting legacy theguardian.com/australia-news…
