Exhaustion and despair. No words better surmise the mood within Australia’s disability community at the end of another sitting year of Parliament.  Another year of advocacy and hard work, striving for equality, once again let down and disillusioned by the outcomes.

Our individual characteristics, circumstances (including social and economic resources), and the context in which we live may in some cases be protective and in others lead to discrimination, marginalisation, or poor outcomes.
