Audio description is a must have for blind and visually impaired people. What happened to The Equality Act? Why do these companies think that blind people don't matter?

Fantastic to hear Gregory’s won the case to keep his home, but the underlying narrative here is concerning; the housing dept was willing to evict a disabled man into homelessness.
We’re in crisis, but this type of practice is unacceptable. Housing is a human right #Auspol

My feature today: The Tasmanian government wanted to evict Gregory Parsons from the public housing unit he'd lived in for a decade without telling him why.
He fought them all the way to the Supreme Court. And this week, he won! theguardian.com/australia-ne… #auspol #politas

Another story of airlines making it difficult for people with #disability to participate in society. We continue to provide advice to government & industry on disability access policy, yet we continue to face #discrimination. It has to stop! abc.net.au/news/2019-05-25/d…

Time to take some ownership of #disability organisations to ensure they do have disabled people at the top.
Here's a few thoughts:
1. ask your service provider if they have #disabled people on their board.
