Hi @billshortenmp your comment on #Insiders about more funding for segregated "special" schools fails to recognise disabled people's fight towards phasing out segregation on the basis of disability.

In closing Maria Scharnke provides the #DisabilityRC her key message:

“Disability is not something that should need to be accommodated for. This sounds ridiculous, but hear me out…

It should be accepted as part of the natural spectrum of human diversity. There should be no need whatsoever to go above & beyond to ensure children with disability have access to an education. Because, there shouldn't be a system, a world, a country or department that perpetuates systematic inequities, inequalities & discrimination.

In your experience, what’s the likelihood of us being able to draw on consistent data across States/ Territories?" Prof. Graham: "We don’t have the data we need to do it properly. It is my fervent hope that this #DisabilityRC can make this [access to data] happen.

While we have great respect for Prof McCallum and his legacy and appreciate this is research paper is an ambitious task of incredibly broad scope, we are surprised by assertions made about Article 24 #CRPD #DisabilityRC @DRC_AU Prof McCallum’s #DisabilityRC paper seeks to provide an overview of complex subject matter requiring deep knowledge of all articles of #CRPD & treaty body jurisprudence that has clarified and elaborated on their meaning in the 15 years since the 2006 adoption of the CRPD @DRC_AU
