Hello Everyone
|
It is really interesting to read and watch the stories about the Coalition's proposals that would require intellectually disabled workers to waive their right to make discrimination claims over the last couple of weeks.
For anyone that missed it, the 7.30 Report has covered it well and you can watch that here.

In our office, we also thought that ABC's program 'The Roast' had a great angle on it and articulated (quite sarcastically) our thoughts on the issue. It is a great watch if you have the time.

Let us know what you think and enjoy reading our latest issue.

Opinion: Thoughts on segregated activities |
By Jo Vassallo.
Our vision is that ‘all people have the opportunity to participate in a welcoming society.’ If we think about what it takes to achieve this vision, it’s really interesting to consider segregated activities, and their place, if any, in working towards it.
