Australia's peak disability organisations, lawyers, academics and others stood together to say no to this Bill & to say it would institutionalise, harm & endanger people with disability.
Yes. We do understand this. We live this life. We understand the legislation inside & out.

This Government and @billshortenmp have sadly walked away from us - they let us down on the #DisabilityRC, ripping up #NDIS and have done nothing about #COVID

We need to face facts folks. A combo of poor pricing, forced assessments, proscriptions and increased NDIA powers means disabled people now face an #NDIS that is somehow more perverse, dreary, miserly, medicalised, confused and hopeless than the mess we left behind in 2013

The Australian Government has released draft lists of what supports can and cannot be funded by the NDIS. What are these lists really saying?
🚫 They’re saying no to the creativity and flexibility that’s been a strength of the scheme and an important part of our lives. 1/5

Today we joined the Building Better Homes Campaign at NSW Parliament House to present our open letter to the NSW government urging them to make the Livable Housing Design Silver Standard mandatory.
Housing discrimination must end now!

Please do not avoid the issue of segregation as many governments are trying to do. We cannot as a society hope to address the issues that led to the #DisabilityRC unless we begin to address segregating practices that violate human rights. x.com/AllMeansAllAus/status/…

Two Royal Commissions have now found #segregation of children with disability places them at risk of abuse:
- Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
- Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People With Disability

We are deeply concerned about the new Better and Fairer Schools Agreement 2025-2034, which overlooks the needs of students with disability.

Disability Discrimination Commissioner Rosemary Kayess has urged the Federal Government to make a stronger commitment to the Disability Royal Commission’s recommendations, if the vision for a more inclusive Australia is to ever be achieved.

It's imperative all other governments that are currently weak or oppositional in their stance to the human right to inclusive education reconsider and change their course. The experiences exposed by the #DisabilityRoyalCommission call for effective action not delay or resistance.

We thank WA and SA for recognising the significance of the policy change needed and the work and time required, without seeking to avoid a commitment to that course and to their duty as a government to ensure the human rights of students with disability.

While both WA and SA acknowledge the complexity of the task ahead, their responses demonstrate willingness to work towards meaningful progress towards inclusive ed and signal a commitment to address long-standing issues for students with disability, including their segregation.

We welcome the WA government's expression of support for a vision for fully inclusive education and the transformative change this will entail. SA's government has recognised segregation is not inclusion and genuine choices can only occur in inclusive systems.

Huge shout out to @maraykejonkers & @PWDAustralia for a huge effort yesterday spreading the word about the devastating response to our Disability Royal Commission. Four years of trauma for disabled people, $527.9m & 10 months to consider - we deserve better.
Only 13 of 222 recs.
