Copy of letter to Minister @billshortenmp from The ANPA this evening. We have asked @MichaelSukkarMP to look into it. #NDISBill #RoyalAssent #NDIA #BillShorten

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

The ANPA denounces media coverage linking #Disability in mothers to risk in the wake of #BlueMountains murders of beloved Ben and Russell Smith. Statement: https://t.co/4GWq8afUAn

@criprights Why do his personal feelings matter? The feelings of the executive are irrelevant. What he did harmed. That matters.

[Griptread @Griptread]

If you’re celebrating Bill Shorten’s career today, you either did not know the man, or you’re in on the grift

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@AmandaRishworth Cool flex when your govt just stripped the NDIS of supports and safeguards Disabled women and girls need to be safe from violence and harm. Unless you only mean non Disabled women and girls? #NDISbill

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

In other news, because we are very low on spoons because *gestures at the state of things*, we have referred Falkingham and our questions to her on to the Commonwealth Ombudsman to chase up. We encourage you to do the same. The agency is dodgy. Keep receipts and report.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

"Why are you so angry?" Oh I don't know, we enjoy being alive, having our children in our care, and our community being intact? Small things like that.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

If we read one more simpering post from a Disabled person praising #BillShorten it is highly possible we will spontaneously combust from rage. A good day to have a bucket of water beside the computer chair tbh.

[Elena Filipczyk @ElenaFilipczyk]

Bill Shorten is quitting politics, and leaving the NDIS and disabled people behind in a fiery pit of suffering and injustice.

Now I know why he never got back to my letter or email to his media staffer offering him to provide a statement for my latest NDIS article.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@criprights Redbridge are the worst.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@ProviderRants just so many tears. we are human beings.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

If you have documentation showing plans ending, changing, supports being removed or participant status being revoked over the last two weeks, with explicit mention of "new eligibility requirements" or the NDIS bill, please send it to: [email protected] #NDISbill

On Shorten's resignation: https://t.co/PEGSdAsI6x

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@criprights <reason he left.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@MrRexPatrick cute that he assumes he is among that group but anyway

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@criprights @billshortenmp Power corrupts.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

@billshortenmp We close this thread of love, anger and solidarity with this anecdote: Today, one member of our board texted another with news that Shorten had resigned + gone on to VC role worth over a mill a year.

The response was one word, all in caps: CVNT.

Correct. x

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

As #BillShorten swallows his golden ticket, it is easy to tell which Disability advocates have gotten a paycheck from govt. It will shock nobody that ANPA don't. We made a reso when we incorporated that we would never take govt funds, esp none from DSS. Tonight exemplifies why.

[ANPA Fam @ANPAFam]

We offer all of our beloved Disabled fam these thoughts tonight. In rage, in solidarity, at what is happening to our community. And we encourage you to hold this man responsible. @billshortenmp - we will. Mark that. 🤜
