Throughout the #DefendOurNDIS campaign the issue we heard the most about was the AAT. It was breaking people. The NDIA were fighting intellectually disabled participants w/ 5-8 top tiered lawyers. It must undergo total cultural reform. #AusPol

Today is @ruokday Did you know people with disability are up to 3 times more likely to die by suicide? This is not okay. It is important that we check in with people we know with disabilities and ask them if they are okay. There is help and resources available.

Do I have to vote in the Voice referendum? Can I vote early? What about postal voting? @abcnews has put together this handy FAQ for the upcoming referendum on the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. abc.net.au/news/2023-09-05/v… #voice #VoteYes #VoteNo #referendum2023 #Indigenous
