Australian laws must recognise that people with #Disability enjoy the #RightToVote on an equal basis with their fellow Australians. Today we join 65 organisations & experts calling for the leaders of both major parties to commit to law reform #auspol bit.ly/3xM9Ixs

Watching Denise Scott on fire on #SpicksAndSpecks tonight. From one Our Lady’s girl to another - hope you’ve still got a photo of #ChrissyAmphlett’s arms around you? What a moment!

Ms Eastman asks about universal design, which you can read about here: universaldesign.ie/what-is-univer… How to address planning issues in the face of resistance, especially about cost? #DisabilityRC

Children with #disability and their families are on the front lines of this mess and have HAD TO spend significant amounts of time thinking about what goes wrong and how it could be fixed. They are right there - just listen to them. #DisabilityRC

Chair asks Julie if she has thought about the steps needed to make mainstream education accessible for all. Suggest her testimony shows she has spent a significant amount of time doing more than thinking about these issues. #DisabilityRC

Thank you Mary Sayers for your wonderful leadership and collaborative approach. It’s been a pleasure backing each up in meetings these recent years. All the best in your new adventure!

We will miss you so much Mary Mallett! Thanks for all your support for advocacy for people with an intellectual disability during your years at @dana_advocacy. Meetings will not be the same without you. All the very best for the new challenge.

This is very surprising as Commissioners have asked questions at all the other #DisabilityRC hearings. I always find these a very interesting part of each day.

So excited to be back at the Having a Say conference after 3 years. It’s so exciting seeing everyone in person. But I can’t help thinking about people who aren’t here because it’s still not safe for everyone #HaS2023

The Disability Royal Commission Final Report has 222 recommendations. We think everyone should be part of the conversation about what happens next, so we made an #EasyRead guide to some of the big recommendations in the report. #DisabilityRC inclusionaustralia.org.au/understanding-…

I was listening to ABC SPORT when Glenn McGrath scored his 61. I remember the commentators cracking up because the scoreboard blasted ‘Congratulations Glenn McGrath for his highest score ever’ after every run for most of the innings (what was his 2nd highest score?) 7Sport

Congratulations Nicole Lee on your richly deserved OAM. It’s been a privilege to work with you and watch you in action at those (very demanding) media conferences. Hope you take a moment to be proud of yourself.

Really enjoying the SACID Leading Through Inclusion conference. Loving Gavin Burner’s commentary during the employment discussion. ‘Did you say people with #IntellectualDisability are being paid full wage?’ (Yes!) ‘Well we are in the 21st century!’ #LTI2024 #EqualPayEqualRespect
