MEDIA RELEASE: Budget – Good initiatives but disability focus lacking wwdact.org.au/2022/08/02/med…
It’s important to understand that for some women with #disability, they simply CAN’T leave. Particularly if the perpetrator is also their carer/support person. @QandA @WWDA_AU

@WomenEnabled #Covid had a disproportionate impact on women + women with disabilities. Those from minorities with disabilities, included high levels of violence, and our basic needs were ignored. #COSP15

From me, @gemcarey, @Ellie_Malbon and @Jen_Hargrave in @ConversationEDU: how the #AdministrativeBurden of the #NDIS has gendered implications - thanks to partners @WWDACT and @WDVtweet 1/ theconversation.com/women-ma…

Women make up half the disability population but just over a third of NDIS recipients

While men and women experience disability at similar rates, men are more likely to be diagnosed with disabilities that are more straightforward to gain access to the NDIS for.

Replying to @ACOSS @RNBreakfast
Stage Three Tax Cuts are costing the Budget $16b per annum, 2/3 are going to men in top 10%. We were already collecting 9th lowest revenue base amongst OECD countries. Second wealthiest country in world yet have 3 mill inc women & children in poverty & big gaps in care services

ACTCOSS today expressed its deep concern about the Federal Government’s proposed voter ID reforms which if passed, will further entrench those that are already struggling. Read the media release: actcoss.org.au/news-events/m…
