Federal class action lodged over ‘racially discriminatory’ work for the dole scheme “I would describe the community development program in its design, in its administration and in its effect, as racially discriminatory.” https://t.co/hXQhHe00uc

The community development program required those in remote areas – mostly Indigenous people – to work more than city-based participants

As a Disabled People's Org (#DPO), at least 51% of our Board & memberships is disabled. In our case it's 100%. We only ask $1/yr from our disabled members so we really rely on this to meet costs. #ActuallyAutistic #DisabilityRights #DisabilityPride 3/

We've been fighting for fair pay & against #ModernSlavery for disabled people. We've gotten City of Sydney & Victoria Park, WA to ban procurement from businesses that pay less than minimum wage/ADEs. We're working with more Councils now. #SubminimumWage #EqualPay #FairPay 2/

Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people please note this post contains the name of a deceased person. We stand with the Yuendumu community following the Coroner’s findings into Kumanjayi Walker’s preventable death. The NT police system is racist & violent.

No, cause that just pissed me off, if you honestly think institutions were good places to be you wouldn’t visit their haunted carcasses every Halloween under the branding of “haunted asylums.”

We can confirm that @animaljusticeAU's national position is to support fair wages/at least minimum wage for disabled people. We received a submission for them 2 weeks ago through the online form but didn't want to publish w/o confirmation. Thanks AJP!
On @AustralianLabor: It's public knowledge that the @AlboMP gov't accepted only 7% of Disability Royal Commission recs. They would not accept the DRC's recs to immediately raise the subminimum wage to 50% of the min wage, or to phase it out by 2034: https://t.co/LylJm2hIK2 1/
