Hey all, I am taking
a break from blogging and YouTube at the request of some people close to me.
However, I need to say that I will be doing a one-off blog post on the Disability
Royal Commission.
I feel that we need space to process the outcomes and what is
in the report and I feel like other disability advocates are much better
qualified to talk about it than me, I am feeling the need to amplify voices
that have been in the lead in the Disability Royal Commission, we see that
people are still processing it and the larger term changes that it is going to
bring. These changes are something that we need to be very much are needed but they
need to be balanced with the needs of the larger community and changing attitudes
towards people with disabilities, and how we are treated by professionals and
the wider community.
We are seeing that there will be major changes and that
people are not aware of it until it is way too late and we are hopefully being
able to see much more value placed on the dignity of people with a disability and
the way we can live our lives.
I am also stunned that the disability Allies aren’t speaking
up on this issue so why is it something that people need to talk about I am
wondering if it is timing, or is it that they are stepping back and letting
people with lives experience take the lead in expressing their views.
I am just letting people know that some great other
advocates have much more experience in this and that I am not going to go completely away but I don’t
feel qualified to talk about it.
I will be taking a break due to hurting some people in my life
however I won’t be doing as many posts.
It’s not good but just for now, it’s see you later
