Federal class action lodged over ‘racially discriminatory’ work for the dole scheme

“I would describe the community development program in its design, in its administration and in its effect, as racially discriminatory.”

As a Disabled People's Org (#DPO), at least 51% of our Board & memberships is disabled. In our case it's 100%. We only ask $1/yr from our disabled members so we really rely on this to meet costs.

Our Fair Go has a fundraiser for basic operating costs. Our first goal is raising $234 to pay for a year of Zoom to have online Board meetings with quality captions for our #Deaf and #neurodivergent directors.

We've been fighting for fair pay & against #ModernSlavery for disabled people. We've gotten City of Sydney & Victoria Park, WA to ban procurement from businesses that pay less than minimum wage/ADEs. We're working with more Councils now.

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people please note this post contains the name of a deceased person.

We stand with the Yuendumu community following the Coroner’s findings into Kumanjayi Walker’s preventable death. The NT police system is racist & violent.

No, cause that just pissed me off, if you honestly think institutions were good places to be you wouldn’t visit their haunted carcasses every Halloween under the branding of “haunted asylums.”

[Our Fair Go @ourfairgo]

Thread of NSW electorates and the candidates in each that support ending subminimum wage.

Will be updated as more graphics are created or as candidates update their positions. Please use this to communicate with candidates as you see fit.

[Our Fair Go @ourfairgo]

@caz4cowper @LCP_Aus @TrumpetPatriots @AJPNSW @Fras_HeartParty @HEARTParty_AU @GreensNSW @OneNationAus The supporting candidate in Fowler is @AveryHowardAU.

[Our Fair Go @ourfairgo]

We can confirm that @animaljusticeAU's national position is to support fair wages/at least minimum wage for disabled people.

We received a submission for them 2 weeks ago through the online form but didn't want to publish w/o confirmation. Thanks AJP!

[Our Fair Go @ourfairgo]

On @AustralianLabor:

It's public knowledge that the @AlboMP gov't accepted only 7% of Disability Royal Commission recs. They would not accept the DRC's recs to immediately raise the subminimum wage to 50% of the min wage, or to phase it out by 2034: https://t.co/LylJm2hIK2
