I acknowledge @billshortenmp & his role in the #NDIS, listening to people with #disability understanding we deserve an equal place in our society. ‘He did it his way’, and we may not have always agreed, but he deserves recognition for this lasting legacy

Good to see Aviation White Paper acknowledge discrimination and undignified treatment we’ve experienced and recognise the importance of broader reform to the DDA for stronger regulatory framework #towards2050✈️ ⁦#auspol ⁦⁦⁦@AusHumanRights⁩

So disappointing kids with disability let down. #DisabilityRoyalCommission rec 8.22 raising age criminal responsibility to 14 over-representation of kids with disability in criminal justice system. VIC offered hope & now that’s gone #CRPD @AusHumanRights

I really enjoyed my afternoon talking about #DisabilityRights with @drgeorgethecrip #CRPD #NDIS #DisabilityRC @AusHumanRights Deep Dive with Disability Discrimination Commissioner Rosemary Kayess via @YouTube

Four & half years of deeply personal & traumatic evidence and the underwhelming response is ‘business as usual’ #DisabilityRC #DisabilityRoyalCommission #CRPD @AusHumanRights

These appalling scenes need to end #CRPD #CRC #CAT #OPCAT

I’ve lost a dear friend & colleague the #CRPD committee lost a #DisabilityRights champion & the movement mourns his loss Like his beloved All Blacks #SirRobertMartin was a world leader & his legacy will live on Condolences to Lady Linda People First NZ his family & friends

I’m quite partial to an occasional Margarita and I have been known to swear ☺️… a punchy post for Down’s Syndrome Day #CRPD @AusHumanRights #disabilityrights

Join us to help Australia be more just, equitable and inclusive for people with disability by joining human rights advocates and supporters at the Free + Equal Human Rights Conference in Sydney on 6&7 June 2024. #free+equal #disabilityrights @AusHumanRights

Ten years of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities: taking stock and looking ahead. A celebration of the work of Catalina Devandas Gerard Quinn and the vision for Heba Hagrass #CRPD #HRC55 #disabilityrights

Women with #disability play a leading role advocating for the rights of women and girls with disability in many social movements and I acknowledge and thank them for their work #WomensRights #DisabilityRights #InternationalWomensDay #crpd @AusHumanRights

The expected enrolment is estimated on the proportion of the population with disability,adjusted for age profile and profound disability, which is assumed to preclude participation in higher education. Have we just assumed away the next Stephen Hawkings? #inclusiveEducation #crpd

It’s an honour to be part of the team. Thanks for the warm welcome.

End of my first week in my new role as Australia's Disability Discrimination Commissioner. I look forward to working with the disability community, government, business to address ableism and ensure the rights of people with disability in all areas of life @AusHumanRight

I’d like to thank everyone for their generous congratulations on my appointment to @AusHumanRights there’s a significant agenda in front of us and I look forward to working with you all #DisabilityRights #crpd #humanrights

4.5 years evidence from thousands, and media don’t get it. Today’s photo. Reducing us to our impairments. We are disembodied, pathologised, equated to the sum $ of the NDIS. The courage, the strength the call for human rights is so much more #DisabilityRights @TheNewDailyAu

@C_Frohmader @abcnews @DRC_AU Been thinking about you. It’s wrong that you and people with disability have to face this trauma again and again to get change.

Vale Steve Estey - a sad loss to the Canadian, Commonwealth and global disability rights movement - What a legacy he has left us – thank you Steve for who you were, and everything you did for us. #disabilityrights #CRPD #HumanRights #DisabilityInclusion

Honoured to be part of the taskforce for the German periodic review constructive dialogue #crpd the challenge is to protect rights and recognise the ableism inherent in specialised segregated systems… let’s hope it’s challenge accepted @UNSWLaw @DisabilityUNSW @TheresiaDegener

Sorry, I meant disability and poverty in my last tweet 😂😂😂
