DISABLED PEOPLE 'FORGOTTEN & IGNORED' BY MORRISON GOVERNMENT IN COVID-19 RESPONSE
Monday 30 November 2020
Australian Greens Disability Rights spokesperson Senator Jordon Steele-John said he was appalled at findings by the Disability Royal Commission, released today, that cited "serious failures" by the Morrison government to make "any significant effort" to consult with disabled people during the early stages of response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The recommenations made by the Chair are a vindication of the outrage and distress felt by disabled people, and our families, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic" Steele-John said.
