Emma Tracey speaks to the BBC’s Australia correspondent, Katy Watson, who experienced this policy first hand when filing paperwork for her son who has Down’s syndrome. And Jonathon Wales, who planned to move to Australia for a dream job, says his family’s hopes were crushed when their plans were halted because his son is autistic.

We hear about the legislative review that is looking into this.

Also in this episode, Dominique Davis - aka Variety D - talks about how it feels to perform on stage as a black, female, disabled comic.
