Throughout the #DefendOurNDIS campaign the issue we heard the most about was the AAT. It was breaking people. The NDIA were fighting intellectually disabled participants w/ 5-8 top tiered lawyers. It must undergo total cultural reform. #AusPol

Thank you @SquigglyRick for your important reporting on the #NDIS A leaked review document shows the National Disability Insurance Agency used ‘legalistic brinkmanship’ to force disabled people to ‘bargain away their rights’. https://t.co/4Fk6t7cmEH

Today is @ruokday

Did you know people with disability are up to 3 times more likely to die by suicide?

This is not okay. It is important that we check in with people we know with disabilities and ask them if they are okay.

There is help and resources available.

Do I have to vote in the Voice referendum? Can I vote early? What about postal voting?

@abcnews has put together this handy FAQ for the upcoming referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.

The rejected changes would have seen disability pensioners randomly selected and required to undergo medical reviews as part of a program to check the accuracy of welfare payments: https://t.co/ugIOKFeHj2

[People with Disability Australia (PWDA) @PWDAustralia]

PWDA welcomes news that the Department of Social Services (DSS) has rejected recommendations that would have placed an unnecessary and unfair burden on some people receiving the Disability Support Pension.

Entirely necessary! Great job @dana_advocacy

Here’s hoping the @NDIS can change to better serve the #disability community!

Some people are 'disabled'. Others 'live with' or 'have a disability'.

Here's the difference between identity-first and person-first language from ABC News
