Great to see @guardiannews treating wage inequality in ADEs as a front page story, & foregrounding the views of workers with intellectual disability.

A final highlight to share for 2023 is DSA's involvement and a range of conferences, advisory groups and committees.
The DSA team and ambassadors have been actively involved in major advocacy projects this year, including the Disability Royal Commission and Review of the NDIS.

Tasmanians should be alarmed at these suspension figures. 37 prep students (5 yr olds) were suspended up to the end of term 3. Students with disability are also over represented as a % of all suspensions. 👆is a sign the system is failing #Politas themercury.com.au/truecrimea…

This is important for the people who live in social housing - meaning they won't be forced to live in unsafe and unclean housing.
Bringing the call centre in public hands means better service, support and faster repairs.

Some big news this morning.
The Liberal experiment of out-sourcing maintenance contracts to private providers has failed.
We’re bringing social housing maintenance back into public hands - to bring dignity, safety & pride to the social housing system in NSW.
