@SPernortey @myGovau I seem to have similar issues and the above suggestion doesn’t work either.

@NDIS what are my options to access the NDIS app on my phone with the difficulties faced in logging into the app via MyGov?

[Karthik/K-A-I @woollads]

@myGovau I am trying to login and it shows the RFM10A error even though my login details are correct. I am also trying to sign in with my DigitalID and passkey and seem to be getting nowhere. Is there a systemic issue at the moment?

@Aussie_BB hi, I am wondering whether there is an outage in 3078? I have not been able to connect to the internet in the last couple of hours?

[Karthik/K-A-I @woollads]

@flyethiopian hello, I am flying with your airline tomorrow, and I have been trying to contact you (without using the phone number) but to no success. What’s the best way to contact you to get a response?

[Karthik/K-A-I @woollads]

@wickedcampers Hi, checking whether there is still an office in Windhoek? I can't seem to find any info on this.

[Karthik/K-A-I @woollads]

@phollingdrake Yep. totally agree. So many interesting points have been raised.

[Karthik/K-A-I @woollads]

Food for thought

[Deaf4Deaf @Deaf_4_Deaf]

Important viewpoints raised: Where is the comprehensive analysis of the guidelines before the bids? Why wasn't Nigeria visited despite raised safety concerns? Meaning safety was considered yet no concerns that UAE will also be unsafe….

Following the publication of the WFD statement regarding the General Assembly’s decision for the United Arab Emirates to host the 2027 XX World Congress (https://t.co/0rmT9qTlk3), I would like to take the opportunity of illustrating three points/suggestions. (1)

One of the most powerful and insightful presentations by Najma Johnson (@CARNOTAS1) on #Intersectionality

[Black Deaf UK @BlackDeafUK]

We are saddened to learn that there will be no place for Black Deaf women and Black Deaf LGBTQI+ to discuss their array of topics and awareness at next WFD Congress at UAE in 2027. It fails to meet to WFD's equality principles on Deaf Human's Rights! @WFDeaf_org please reconsider

[Black Deaf UK @BlackDeafUK]

and review this.

It is important to emphasis the issue of intersectionality, equality and human rights that should be given to Deaf people around the world. @WFDeaf_org #WFD2023 #WFD2027

[British Deaf Association @BDA_Deaf]

Our statement: British Deaf Association voices serious concerns over suitability of the United Arab Emirates to host the next World Federation of the Deaf Congress in 2027 due to country’s anti-LGBTQIA+ stance.

@Robb4DC is one of them with brilliant live tweeting. Thank you, Robb. Hopefully, there are more out there?

[Karthik/K-A-I @woollads]

Looking for recommendations of accounts covering the @WFDeaf_org 2023 conference with live tweeting #deaftwitter #deafacademictwitter #WFD2023

[Deaf Australia @deafaustralia]

Concerning the WFD 2027 Congress: Deaf Australia is surprised by the choice of the UAE as the host, as it contradicts our values and those of the United Nations. We are discussing and seeking more information before deciding on our next steps.

As a third culture person (having being exposed to multiple cultures), I can respect the laws and customs of individual countries, but can’t respect censorship of human rights and speech (particularly from marginalised groups) imposed by any country.
