How Samantha Connor got a royal commission into disability deaths


(Image: Private Media)
Anger is an emotion we’re rarely told to express. Passionate women and people of colour are often framed as outspoken, enraged, shrill or resentful. Their fights are discredited the second they raise their voice.
But regardless of how it’s framed, anger gets results. When directed in the right way, rage can inspire change. It pulls people out of their homes, it causes them to rally outside Parliament, call out bullshit and fight for what they believe in.
This week
Crikey spoke with Samantha Connor, the president of People with Disabilities Australia, about what’s got her riled up this week and when anger has worked in her favour. ....

Statement from a spokesperson for Minister Linda Reynolds:
The 2019 Review of the NDIS Act (the Tune Review) was conducted independently by David Tune AO PSM and the Australian Government respected his independence at all stages. ....

NDIS review's independence in doubt after documents show department made significant changes

Secret documents have cast doubt on the independence of a wide-ranging review into the National Disability Insurance Scheme that recommended the most radical overhaul of the $25 billion program since it was established.
Emails and draft copies of the 2019 report, written by former senior public servant David Tune, show National Disability Insurance Agency officials inserted an entire chapter into the review of the scheme’s legislation, and made substantial changes to almost every part of the document.
The disability sector is opposed to the NDIS using independent assessments.
The review was used by the Morrison government to introduce independent assessments for NDIS participants, where health professionals employed by one of eight providers paid by the government will review users’ eligibility for the scheme. Disability advocates have labelled the measure a cost-cutting measure to reduce the number of people in the program. ....
