Listen to Australian and world news, and follow trending topics withDisability advocates have protested at the New South Wales parliament today against housing policy which they say discriminates against people with disability and older Australians.
The Disability Royal Commission and the National Disability Insurance Scheme review both strongly urged New South Wales to adopt the design standards that would allow people with disability to access the buildings.The advocates attempted to listen in to Question Time at the New South Wales parliament, however CEO of the Physical Disability Council of New South Wales, Edward Morris, says they were unable to due to a lack of accessibility.
The government is looking to introduce legislation that would allow the minister to set a limit on the number of overseas students that are enrolled in Australian universities. "We believe the bill as drafted is more a political smoke screen than an instrument for good policy as the government seeks to gain an upper hand in the battle of migration ahead of the next election, our main issue lies with the amendments that seek to control the number of international students our universities can enrol and what courses they can enrol in. This is ministerial overreach to an extent we have never seen before.
