Working Together Towards Sovereignty

The site of the Brisbane Embassy at Musgrave Park had become an eyesore and an embarrassment for the Aboriginal community over the last few months.

So a number of elders and traditional owners from the area banded together to ensure the inevitable Brisbane City Council clean up was done in consultation with them with respect to culture.

Call for increase to the NSW taxi transport subsidy

Call for Increase to the NSW Taxi Transport Subsidy

The Spinal Cord Injury Australia (SCIA) Policy and Advocacy Team is encouraging people to write to the NSW Minister for Transport and the Shadow Minister for Transport to request an increase in the subsidy given under the NSW Taxi Transport Subsidy Scheme (TTSS).

The TTSS has not increased since 1999, despite a considerable increase in taxi fares. As a consequence, people with disability who rely on taxis to access the community spend a disproportionately high amount of their income on transport.
