    YES! THIS BUDGET'S FOR YOU

    So glad I logged into Twitter last week and found this brilliant article by Wendy Harmer at The Hoopla.

    It’s not only people with a disability who should be cheering the budget’s $1 billion commitment to a National Disability Insurance Scheme.

    Every one of us should be applauding like mad.

    Because perhaps, finally, Australians are beginning to understand in a profound way that disability is a part of life.

    That people with disabilities are not the invisible “other”. They are us.

    Yes, LET’S BUILD THIS BABY.
