Dr Ben Gauntlett ends his term as Disability Discrimination Commissioner this month. In the role, he has advocated tirelessly for the rights of the 4.4 million people in Australia who have a disability. What's the most important thing he has learnt in his time as Commissioner?

I've ducked and dived, isolated, vaxed to the max, but it's finally got me. Tested positive this morning. Resting up and hoping for a mild dose. Stay vigilant people, 50 Australians a day are still dying from this.

Let me try and explain to you why your autistic child spends so much time in their room in front of that damned computer.
Its because it’s safe. It’s because they have control over that space like in no other part of their life.
A MOTHERFUCKING THREAD.
