#RobertRoberson was convicted based on debunked science and the fact he was Autistic. Now he's due to be executed. There's a #SaveRoberson petition - and Texans can call their rep: innocenceproject.org/petitions/just…

@AlboMP And my NDIS funding will be going to that, I hope, rather than to tax cuts for billionaires or nuclear submarines...?

BREAKING: We’ve just introduced legislation to pay super on paid parental leave.

@hannah_diviney @SenatorJordon What better use of public funds than supporting community members to have their human rights met?
English
@hannah_diviney @SenatorJordon Is this 14 billion going to be used for nuclear submarines and tax cuts to billionaires?

Hey friends! If you have questions/concerns about the new NDIS bill passed today - the one that values money instead of people, feel free to put them here. I’m helping @SenatorJordon collate them to be answered by the government ASAP because we deserve answers instead of fear.

If my supports get cut because the NDIA has the wrong information in my files, what happens then? An institution? Or would that not be funded either?
English
My health/capacity has been deteriorating. For two years I've fought for an #NDIS plan review that isn't the same, was-never-even-accurate repackaged words (apparently my mother is a support? I haven't had one since before joining the Scheme).
What now?

PWDA has called the passage of the NDIS Amendment Bill “devastating,” citing deep concerns about its impact on NDIS participants and the disability community.

Lifetime bans are not enough. We need to end segregation. We need to separate provision of housing and supports.

"That is the thing with true ugliness. It does not come in the shape of a wheelchair, a cleft lip, white cane or scars. It sits in prejudice, digging and clawing its way into our culture"

“Some had their disability aids removed by photographers. Other children have been altered with editing software or banned from their class photos entirely.” I expose how the “erased disabled kids” scandal was not a one-off - and what it says about us. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Very frightening indeed.

Well that's terrifying. Just finished the DSS webinar on the new #NDIS legislation. It's even worse than we thought. The needs assessment to determine funding budgets will NOT be a reviewable decision. Just like with Independent Assessments. @lukehgomes @SquigglyRick @abcnews

@NDIS @billshortenmp One of my NDIS goals is to be a taxpayer, someday. I love taxes.
I do want them used well.
I want to use my NDIS funding in a way that respects taxpayers, respects my fellow citizens and the Disabled community. Being forced to pay more for a segregated product isn't doing that.
English
@NDIS @billshortenmp I'm not unhappy about all of the proposed changes.
But even if I am ignoring ethics and my personal needs and the needs of my community, this one does not make sense. It doesn't make economic sense.
English
The solution to NDIS expenses isn't to lock participants into only purchasing the most expensive supports available. If you want me to only have supports made exclusively for Disabled people, be prepared to be spending a lot more I never wanted you to.
People charge us more.
