Disabled, queer socialist filled with wrath and keen to tell some tales from Australia's disability policy hellscape.

Tomorrow we are mourning the NDIS. Our NDIS. The NDIS that was about ending scarcity, giving disabled people normal lives and real supports to be who they are. Join us in Melbourne at the DSC conference to grieve what we have lost. You are not alone. You are not imagining it. Wear black.

Image with a picture of a red stop sign and the words 'Stop the Cuts'. Save our NDIS. Join disabled people and our allies to protest the NDIS Cuts.

We demand:
No one should be worse off. Stop cuts to NDIS money and support. Do no force people into shared supports or institutions. Treat mental health fairly and...
There is an arrow pointing to click on the next image, and a picture of people protesting.

Fund support for our real lives, not just labels. Stop removing children and adults from the NDIS. Real codesign with our community. Harm costs more. Stop the cuts.

Where: NDIS conference, Melbourne Convention Centre, South Wharf. When: 9am - 12 noon Tuesday 20th May. What: Wear black, bring a sign that says 'stop the cuts' or 'the NDIA are harming us.' All caps: We are stronger together.

The NDIA are overdue on responding to a number of questions from Senator Jordon Steele-John about eligibility reassessments, including who is being impacted and how much the NDIA is saving by throwing people off the scheme.

Another reason why we shouldn’t put the robots in charge just yet.

Funding criteria for the equipment program in my state. Sometimes I imagine that instead of arbitrary rules we had some kind of system that looked at your disability and your goals and then worked out what you needed to make that happen. Then I remember we did have that. #LeakyNDIS.
