At the conclusion of #COSP15 we reflect on the hard work being done by so many to ensure that human rights for people with disability are upheld.

I am reeling and saddened by the passing of John Moxon who died of COVID last night. John was a founding member of PWDA and cofounder of Lives Worth Living - a giant of our movement, a voice of common sense & a great leader.

Stolen Generations survivor Daryl Sloan was two years old when police charged him with vagrancy. He carries a copy of his police documents with him, because few believe him when he tells them he faced criminal charges as a toddler. abc.net.au/news/2023-05-2…
