It sounds like this ‘community’ leader needs to either wisen up or stay in her ableist lane. There are more important issues for her to focus on than taking away mobility parks.

I can identify with this!

And straight away Trump is blaming diversity and inclusion policies.

She has her tourism portfolio now, disability will be getting even less of her attention.

That’s all very well but she needs to first make sure a workplace is accessible. If it’s not, then that mandate is discriminatory.

Fabulous! Love your mahi :)

So sad, it doesn’t make me want to visit any time soon. I get it, over-tourism is damaging.

Oh no! Hope they can still keep to the plan.

You definitely want to be in our Kōrero for Change on housing.

Disability Ministry 'days' away from spending all its money What can and can’t be purchased by disabled people or their carers has been slashed in an effort by the Ministry of Disabled People Whaikaha to save money.

Good summary of surprise disability funding cuts 🇳🇿

I can’t believe ‘x’ has still not taken down that horrible livestream terrorist attack on our Muslim community in Christchurch.

I’ll have to share that with the crew, thank you!

Cool that’s one our general disability community are unaware of.

Govt urged to make beaches more accessible The beach day is a Kiwi classic, but for people in wheelchairs, accessible beaches are hard to come by. In Auckland, Takapuna is the only beach with a mat and accessible bathroom for wheelchair users....
