@almcewinddc The DDA has helped pwd change the conversation from us being portrayed as objects of pity and charity to bearers of rights. A Human Rights Act is now required to make the cultural reform that's required to dismantle Institutional Abelism.

Yesterday was International Day of People with a Disability #IDPWD17, and we are honoured today to host a reception for @SpinalLife Australia, a passionate organisation increasing public awareness of spinal cord injury and eroding the stigma of disability

We have had anti-discrimination laws making sexual harassment illegal for over 25 years in Queensland. A human rights act is the next progression towards making organisations confront institutional sexism and realising cultural change in the workplace and society more broadly. https://t.co/kxGmHjohyq

You've stopped the boats, now stop the inhumanity and treat our refugees as per the Refugee Convention. https://t.co/i8wMMvP4Px

I borrow a quote from George Dei "Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists; it is making a new space, a better space for everyone." https://t.co/iD57m6QsJD

Discrimination faced by the A&TSI community & people with a disability reflect how far we still have to go to achieve #FairAndInclusiveWorkplaces. https://t.co/ySmeJaPNx4

Racial vilification is illegal in QLD. Cowardly acts experienced by Sam Dastyari demonstrates why we have laws that protect people from racial discrimination & vilification. Such acts are often promoted as PC gone mad!' https://t.co/IxhfAXLLx2 https://t.co/kBwjlyoMS1
