Disability Advocate. Equality is a right not a favour. Special interest - Dept of Education - their disinterest in academic outcomes and stopping restraint.

My 2nd amendment is to change the title of the bill from "Disability Service & Inclusion Act" to "Disability Services Act". It's not acceptable to have inclusion in the title when the guts of the bill fails to end to segregation. Greens: Support Labor Liberal: Oppose #auspol

This is courage personified. When a group of people or an institution tries to cover-up their own failures to protect people under their care by abusing their employees, they often 'win' in the short term, but when they keep doubling down and eventually encounter someone with the integrity, strength and determination shown here by @Lyshrose, it begins to unravel and they fail spectacularly.

For context. I am a CSA Whistleblower who was working in AYDC and after threats, assault, bullying sexual harassment as a result of reporting my colleagues, and my employer @RockliffTeam doing nothing to keep me safe, I developed PTSD & had to leave site on WC. 1/2
