The Senator said this Act would allow a “mechanism for redress” that would allow for a “radical transformation … that is needed to end ablism and segregation in Australian society.”
Steele-John also called for the end of segregation in Australia’s disability care system – this refers to what was once known as “sheltered workshops” where people with disabilities live and work.
What is really clear is that in Australia we have a cycle of segregation and a disabled child will start education in a segregated school and then moved through to a segregated workplace where they are again segregated. The result of that cycle of segregation is abuse.
