‘Shut Out’ Report Welcomed by Peak Disability Group
For Immediate Release 5th AUGUST 2009
The Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) today congratulated the Federal government for continuing to meet its election commitment to improving the lives of people with disability by releasing a report on the barriers they face.
“The Shut Out report clearly tells us that now is the time for positive change,” said Lesley Hall, AFDO CEO. “No matter what disability you have or when you become disabled, if you live in Australia at the moment you’ll face the results of decades of systemic neglect.”
