Blogger’s Note: The Tory and LibDems Coalition Government (2010-2015) in the UK was found ‘Guilty’ of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ by a ‘Special Investigative UN Team’ in 2016! This two-year investigation found that between 2010-2016 this right-wing government had made ‘sweeping’ and ‘Illegal’ cuts to the decades-old support that Disabled People had received from the NHS, Social Housing, Education, Employment, Social Services and Benefit Payments. This sudden withdrawal of financial and institutional support had led to the deaths of 120,000 People with Disabilities in the UK by 2016 – according to UN Findings – a number that has increased year-by-year as the Tories and LibDems refuse to accept this UN Report – and the British electorate keeps returning these right-wing Tory governments to power! Obviously, this number has been recorded as increasing as each year goes bye – with the most vulnerable falling victim in the early years – and the more able soon following due to sustained deprivation and indifference. Channel Four (which is leading the charge against Russell Brand for ‘rape allegations’) studied the UN Report and declared it to be ‘fake news’ and the product of a left-wing ‘conspiracy’ – refusing to endorse its findings or investigate its shocking conclusions! This is how the Tories and LibDems reduced the care the Disabled Population used to receive in the UK – to the despicable level of that found in Australia! ACW (29.9.2023)

CANBERRA, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) — Major reforms are needed to make Australia an inclusive society for people with disabilities, a landmark report has found.
The federal government in Parliament on Friday tabled the final report of the independent Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability.
After a four-and-a-half-year inquiry, the commissioners concluded that people with disabilities continue to experience high rates of violence and abuse, multiple forms of neglect, and sexual and financial exploitation.
“The social transformation needed to make Australia truly inclusive requires us to take account of the history of exclusion that has shaped the settings, systems and daily lives of people with disability through to today,” the report said.
“Inclusion involves social transformation that enables people with disability to live, learn, work, play, create and engage alongside people without disability.”
The 12-volume report made 222 recommendations for change, including that the government establish a Disability Rights Act that would embody the principles of the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
It calls for segregated employment to be phased out by 2034 and the end of segregated education by 2051.
“The human rights of people with disability have informed all our work and underpin a great many of our recommendations,” Ronald Sackville, chair of the commission, wrote in the report.
“Transformational reforms cannot occur without fundamental changes in community attitudes towards people with disability.”
