PWDA is deeply concerned NDIS reassessments are occurring at scale with participants expected to respond in unreasonable timeframes that do not reflect the NDIS Act. The Saturday Paper has reported in the past six weeks alone 7487 eligibility reassessments have been performed.

Read our open letter calling for immediate action to implement the DRC's recommendations. The retirement of NDIS Minister Bill Shorten is a real opportunity to establish a dedicated Minister for Disability and Department of Disability Equality & Inclusion: buff.ly/3VycPUP

Please check out and share my story in today's Guardian Australia "The NDIS, like Medicare, is insurance for all of us – a safety net that ensures reasonable and necessary support for everyone in our community, should we ever need it." See the full story: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Our friend and quiet achiever Peter Lane-Collett, who died of COVID (contracted from a support worker). He leaves behind Marayke, family, friends and community. Beautiful memories. But Peter still had a life to live. Our lives are of the same value as others.

I have a personal favour for those who admire the work of Senator Jordon Steele-John and his advocacy for our community. He’s holding a campaigning phone party tomorrow night. I’m flying to WA and will be there. But you can join in from other states. Can you help? Deets up next.

Australian Greens should seriously consider Senator Jordon Steele-John for Party Leader. Not because he just won the biggest election victory in Greens history for a WA leader. Not just because the community love the guy. And not just because of his integrity. It's time. Adam Bandt TheGreensWA
