@abcnews watching election night coverage. WHERE IS @CaseyBriggs ?!

With Antony stepping out, it seems rude not to have his perfect successor more prominently in the broadcast.

The intersecting disadvantages of ageism and ableism render older people with disabilities virtually invisible.

I'm proud to have worked on this research addressing an important public policy and research gap in humanitarian and development practice.

🚨 New research alert! 🚨
Older people with disabilities are being left behind in humanitarian & development responses due to ageism + ableism. Our joint report with @FredHollows exposes the gaps & calls for urgent change.

People with disabilities have as much right as anyone to participate in their classrooms, communities & world. Thanks to Rev @TimCostello & @MicahAustralia for joining the call to @DFAT & @PatConroy1 for greater #disabilityequity in their upcoming IDEARS https://t.co/muofWKvxRT

[CBM Australia @CBMAustralia]

We now look to the release of @DFAT’s new International Disability Equity and Rights Strategy as a critical roadmap for how Australia will champion locally-led strategies in disability equity and rights in our ODA.

For the last 10 years, the Disability Inclusive Development Fund has remained largely unchanged at $12.9m, losing almost 20% in real terms value over that time.

[CBM Australia @CBMAustralia]

Tonight’s increase of $1.1m will support new initiatives on access to assistive technology for children with disabilities across the Pacific. This is a positive step, though much more action is needed to meet the commitment of disability equity as a core area of action.

[CBM Australia @CBMAustralia]

We acknowledge tonight's announcement, as part of the #FederalBudget, of an increase to the central disability allocation within Australia's Official Development Assistance, from $12.9m to $14m.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Hang onto your hats.

@davosfingers Criteria: who would I want to sit next to on an international flight. Stannis is going to sit silently and respect the etiquette around armrests. The Hound is going to drink and get sad. Stannis.

@davosfingers Criteria: who would I rather sit next to on an international flight. Dunk's long legs would be an issue but I think he'd make up for it in conversation. Dunk narrowly.

[Will Mezner @WillMezner]

@davosfingers I would rather sit next to Syrio on an international flight.
