As we watch, listen to & attend the #ClosingDRC ceremony today, we should all be expecting leadership from all governments decision makers to end the systemic segregation of #PwD which exacerbates violence against us. TY@PWDAustralia for your advocacy. @DRC_AU #EndSegregation

Hi @billshortenmp your comment on #Insiders about more funding for segregated "special" schools fails to recognise disabled people's fight towards phasing out segregation on the basis of disability. Please see DPOs #EndSegregation Position Paper: dpoa.org.au/endsegregation/ 1/

People with disability need segregation to end. We need control over our lives, so we can participate and be included fully in the community.

We're conducting a 2nd survey contributing to the NDIS Review open to people who do and don't receive #NDIS support. This one focuses on how the NDIS helps or could help you with housing. What is working well? How could it be done better? More: surveymonkey.com/r/ndis-hous… #disability

People with Disability Australia welcomes the Treasurer’s assurance that ‘the #NDIS is here to stay’ in his budget speech. However, tonight’s budget has more to do on housing and economic security measures to bring comfort to the disability community. pwd.org.au/budget-clearly-si…

It’s obviously great to see some upward movement, but it’s also obvious that a $2.85 increase PER DAY won’t make a material difference. Can’t even buy a cup of coffee #JobSeeker #auspol #Budget2023

A public housing advocate just interrupted Albanese's presser: "Let's talk about housing, prime minister"
Albanese: "I think you've had your say"
He shuts her down then talks about how excited he is to attend Kyle Sandilands' wedding
"I enjoy weddings"
