Fight terrorism but unite in love for all

While driving in a taxi in Melbourne I was sparked into action by all the negative comments and ignorance I heard on the radio. I instantly rang the John Faine 774 program to remind people that yes the attacks in Paris are terrible however responding to hatred with hatred only gives the terrorists the victory they want.
I also reminded listeners that due to my disability I have been lucky enough to experience the kindness of Christian, Muslim, and atheist alike.
People that know me will tell you that I am a combat orientated person that has studied all the great military thinkers and I personally have come up with plans, techniques, and strategies should anyone try to hurt those I love.
I completely believe that any terrorist no matter what their beliefs should be fought and stopped but you cannot attack an entire faith organisation based on the ignorant actions of a minority.
If we make sure that we treat each other with love and respect no matter our backgrounds then evil will never triumph. May we all examine our thoughts, our souls, and our hearts over the next few days and anytime a hateful thought comes up may we say a prayer for Paris.

Defend Our NDIS

Defend our NDIS; people have had enough of cuts and changes to the NDIS. The Every Australian Counts campaign has organised a national day of action and events across Australia to take place on 28th of April. I have been involved in the NDIS from the initial trial phase through to today. People may remember that I was involved in an advertising campaign spruiking the benefits to come once the scheme was up and running. ‘You’re in charge! Yes we are, aren’t we!’ For awhile this was the truth for participants like myself. I have been very lucky and received 90 percent of what I need from NDIS. The question is would I have received the same benefits if I was not a skilled disability advocate? People with disabilities want the original version of the scheme that was promised without having to fight for a reasonable request. It would be a more efficient scheme if the government put the millions of dollars in legal fees into service delivery instead. According to the Australian Service

A Vision for an Inclusive Australia (DRC Final Report)

The final revised version of the Disability Royal Commission (DRC) into violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation was published on 2 November 2023. The Royal Commission ran for four years with hundreds of people with disabilities testifying at hearings and thousands more supplying the Commission with written submissions. The final report titled Our Vision for An Inclusive Australia made 222 recommendations to improve laws, policies, structures, and practices to ensure a more inclusive and just society. That supports the independence of people with disabilities and their right to live a life free from violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The report covers 12 volumes ranging from: Voices of People with Disability About the Royal Commission Nature and Extent of Violence, Abuse, and Exploitation Realising the Human Rights of People with Disability Governing for Inclusion Inclusive Education, Employment, and Housing Enabling Autonomy and Access Criminal Justice and People wi

United in Action (International Day of People with Disability 2023)

International Day of People with Disability is here again. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of people with disabilities while at the same time reminding the world that people with disabilities need access to equality. This year's UN theme is United in Action to rescue and achieve the sustainable development goals for, with, and by people with disability. Around this time every year I am blown away by the giants in the world who live with a disability and I am using today's post to highlight just a few. First let me tell you about Natalie Wade, a passionate lawyer who works in the area of disability rights law. Natalie is also the coauthor of Disability Rights in Real Life Handbook as well as being the inaugural orator for the Disability Leadership Oration . This will air at 5pm AEDT on ABC TV and ABC iview on the 3 December 2023. The next person I wish to highlight today is Elly Desmarchelier, a brilliant disability advocate, writer, and national spokesperson for
