Suzanne James talks to WA Greens Senator Jordon Steele-John about the Albanese Government’s betrayal of the disability community, ignoring the bulk of the Disability Royal Commission’s recommendations whilst deconstructing and defunding their own National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

They discuss Labor’s proposed NDIS Bill which is so bad, the only party that supports it is One Nation, and talk about the hard realities of living with a disability in Australia today.

The protesting students of Bangladesh  are fighting for justice in the face of unprecedented repression by the police, armed forces and goon squads organised by the Awami League ruling party, a Bangali activist with Deshis for Liberation told Green Left’s Peter Boyle on July 21.

Deshis for Liberation is a Bangali-led and formed group for collective liberation. It respects different cultural, historical and economic aspects of issues and is against oppression for all marginalized peoples. It believes in creating systemic change through education and action.

‘Zaria’ (not her real name to protect her family) said Bangladeshis on the ground want things to deescalate without foreign influence or intervention, in the civil unrest other parties and groups are trying to take advantage of the situation.
