Australia: New Report Finds People with Disabilities Facing “High Rates of Abuse & Exploitation”! (29.9.2023)

The blogger draws a parallel between the treatment of disabled people in Australia and the controversial policies of the UK’s Tory and LibDems Coalition Government (2010-2015), accused of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ by a UN investigation for drastic cuts to support for people with disabilities. The blogger notes that this deprivation led to significant fatalities among disabled individuals. They compare the situation to Australia, where a landmark report calls for major reforms to make the country more inclusive for disabled people. The report, based on a four-and-a-half-year inquiry, recommended 222 changes, including passing a Disability Rights Act and ending segregated education by 2051.
