Access is not a nice-to-have.
Access is a need-to-have.
Access is not a privilege.
Access is a civil right.

Say it with me now:
Access is not a nice-to-have.
Access is a need-to-have.
Access is not a privilege.
Access is a civil right.

Have you watched "Nanette", the incredible @HannahGadsby special on @netflix?
We loved this quote about #diversity and difference.

ALT Hannah Gadsby quote: “...I believe we could paint a better world if we learned how to see it from all perspectives, as many perspectives as we possibly could. Because diversity is strength, Difference is a teacher, Fear difference, you learn nothing.”

When access is prohibited by poor design --- do it yourself barrier eradication is always an option. Inclusive #Canberra as a work in progress. Thank you team.

As an antidote to Leyonhjelm, i reckon @Hannahgadsby's 'Nanette' puts white male privilege in perspective, and creates a place 4 respect. Re-enervating for all ostracised by otherness. All power to valuing diversity. @WWDACT @OurWatchAus @eraaustralia @PWDACT2 @BonnieMillen
