Who are you going to listen to? I stand with disabled people and the Royal Commissioners with disability. It's time to #EndSegregation, and you can commit to deliver on this very very long struggle Anthony Albanese Amanda Rishworth MP @billshortenmp #DisabilityRC

We call on government to adopt Recommendation 7.14 to phase out segregated education. It’s not okay to align with ableist views that claim that non-disabled people know better than disabled people. #EndSegregation #DisabilityRC smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Disability Royal Commission. For sharing your stories, revisiting your trauma and making sure our community was heard. It is now up to all of us to make sure your voice was not wasted #DisabilityRC

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

1. A friendly reminder that mainstream ≠ inclusion. If you have some personal experience or anecdotes about a child who did not have an optimal experience at a mainstream school, this does not constitute evidence against #InclusiveEducation.

We are disappointed to learn that the Easy Read versions of the Disability Royal Commission’s Final Report are not available in hard copy - only available via the #DisabilityRC @DRC_AU website. This is unacceptable. CID Inclusion Australia Amanda Rishworth MP @billshortenmp #CRPD

I wish to sleep. I wish to play. Forced to take shelter in a school amid bombardments in Gaza, Taha shares his message. UNICEF calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access across Gaza and immediate and safe release of all abducted children.

Al-Shifa hospital is the main operational health facility in #Gaza city providing emergency and surgical care, with hundreds of patients and civilians inside. 📢We repeat: Attacks on medical facilities, ambulances, staff and patients MUST STOP!

Please fix Jason Clare MP - beggars belief that in 2024, following a Royal Commission into violence and abuse against them exposing deep prejudice and discrimination, disabled Australians are still having to make the case to be recognises as a priority equity group in education.

PuffinBooks Greg James Chris Smith @emilybobdraws When there's positive representation of disabilities in children's books, children with disabilities feel seen and heard, and their friends and classmates treat everyone the same. There is nothing at all revolting about prosthetic eyes, we think they're brilliant (1/2)

If you’re going to throw money at social cohesion then maybe toss it in the direction of reducing inequality. Generational theft seems to be driving a reasonable chunk of crankiness. Stop opening up coal mines, help the kiddies afford some shelter. Might have another coffee.

Have you noticed more colleagues, friends or family are unwell at the moment? There are currently increased levels of COVID-19, influenza and RSV in our community. Please remind yourself how to stay safe and well.

Feeling deeply unsettled by announcements today that key family-led organisations working effectively through NACBO, to support & stand up for the rights of people with intellectual &developmental disability, have lost ILC funding. So much at risk @billshortenmp Amanda Rishworth MP
