Bust the Budget - Disability Support and Rights March

People with Disabilities have been left behind far too long. Now more than ever we need to stand together and say we need our pensions protected, our health care protected, we deserve the supports to participate in society, to afford to live independently and dare I say it HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE PAID EMPLOYMENT and not be judged. Now the Coalition want to slow our pension increases to CPI rather than wage increases, destroy Medicare by charging us $7 GP tax, pathology, hospital emergency fees and it will only get worse. Then there is the axing of Ramp UP and the role of Disability Discrimination Commissioner. They are are removing these vital platforms for us to have a voice and be heard which will marginalize us even more. We need to protect our voice and be heard for future generations. So if you are a person with a disability, a parent of someone with a disability, a carer or support worker, come to this march.
