@bluntshovels its a choice announcement for the Minister to make. Looking good without extra spending. Unless there is more money in core to pay for that... people will probably continue to trade support hours for transport KMs

"If somebody can be rejected a visa because of a disability, it puts a monetary value on a life and diminishes being human"
So true, how we value people with disability is a true marker of a civil society. Thanks @abcnews for story. Pls note #DisabilityRC

[Every Australian Counts @EveryAustralian]

Over the last few days we have been sharing information for #NDIS participants and their families affected by #AustralianBushfires. We will keep sharing on social media to reach people quickly but also have everything in one spot on our website - https://t.co/r1diXs4hXQ

#Medevac has just been scrapped after a secret deal between Jacqui Lambie and the Government.

Let's be really clear: as a result of scrapping this bill, people will lose their lives.

Every single person who voted for this bill should be ashamed #AusPol

Political activism and engagement .. one of the hallmarks of citizenship.. not just on #IDPwD but every day thanks @LieslTesch

[Penny Sharpe @PennySharpemlc]

For #IDPWD @TeschLiesl showed me some of her challenges as the MP for Gosford working in NSW Parliament House. Our Parliament should be the most accessible and inclusive building in NSW. It is not. #nswpol

@SquigglyRick "It bears repeating - in a world where people are beholden to enormous schemes or govt bureaucracies, the trade of information is your most powerful friend... it matters... Let the information be free" @SquigglyRick

6 months ago...

A re-elected @ScottMorrisonMP Govt will:
Commit $45 million to develop a national disability information gateway, incl a website & 1800 number, to assist all people with disability & their families to locate & access services in their communities.

Where is it?

[Barbel Winter @futuresUpfront]

Thanks to @EveryAustralian and all the people who are keeping up the pressure .. and thanks for your speech @stuartrobertmp .. looking forward to more choice and control and less bureaucracy @NDIS

[Every Australian Counts @EveryAustralian]

Minister for #NDIS ⁦@stuartrobertmp⁩ says people will soon be able to use their #NDIS funds more flexibly. NDIA will also release more data and info to help people make decisions about how to use their funding. #NDISMakeItWork

Steve from @BeingMHW as a peer worker - “this process was really informative - we’d work together to bring the information and stories to life - like when we’ve been scammed - it was good to have our voices heard’
