Thank you Graeme McCreath for your words on @cfax1070 with @Adam_Stirling. It is appalling to hear that @CityOfVictoria is using public finds to fight to against the rights of people with disabilities, particularly when they constantly promote themselves as inclusive.

“Look at this sidewalk. Scooters, scaffolding, signs, outdoor dining areas all blocking access.”
Sidewalks are a disability rights issue.
Clear, unobstructed, accessible sidewalks are a disability rights issue.

At this time parking is a fundamental part of universal access. Anything less excludes people with disabilities.

🏠 Ensuring everyone can live a full, dignified life is the right thing to do.
That’s why, for the first time in 16 years, shelter rates have increased today by 33% for those on income and disability assistance.
We know there is more to do and we are committed to doing it.
