Australia’s disability royal commission has faced near media silence – and left politicians unaccountable | Elly Desmarchelier

A disability royal commission hearing. This week is the commission’s final public hearing for the year and submissions close forever on 30 December.A disability royal commission hearing. This week is the commission’s final public hearing for the year and submissions close forever on 30 December.For decades Australian royal commissions have uncovered deeply buried truths and brought about hard-fought systemic change.

We’re at the very end of this long journey, and yet when I speak to anyone outside the disability sector most don’t even know the DRC is still running. In what seems to be a departure from other recent inquiries, the DRC has not released any interim recommendations, which means people with disability and the public at large have no idea what the commissioners are prioritising or where they are taking us.

Because it's a money pit that has been abused by the people it was meant to support as is most things paid for by the tax payer. Just a pity people who are legit get hurt. People are working with their Drs and Phy'cs to work out how to get more and rip off the system.Shut it down

So the MSM cover up of the last LNP govt continues. Why doesn't the Guardian do something about it if you give a shit about journalism? Or are journalists the Guardian's problem too?

We have an appalling unaccountable school system that can get away with abusing children of all needs and abilities. Why won't the media expose this?

Sonny_NC And the same with Morrison and the LNP

Shameful! Reprehensible! When certain media start to concern themselves with such issues, I'll consider donating & supporting them. Will see how long the accountability deficit lasts.

Did the Disability Royal Commission look into guardians who take the control of the disabled persons bank account and spend their pension on their own expenses?

Yes Australian media are a disgrace the way they cover up stuff for governments. Such corrupt liars. I mean look how they lied to everyone that a jab would stop the spread and never explained how around 95% of people recovered fine before jabs. All about 💰💰💰

EDesmarchelier you are so right. The Disability Royal Commission drc should have called airports, airlines, security screening companies, retail outlets, post offices, national tourist venues, federal parliament to account for not recognising, supporting and including people

In prison for stealing a soft drink, advocates demand urgent reform of Victoria's bail lawsVictorians are being refused bail for offences so minor they might never have warranted a sentence of imprisonment, with a disproportionate number of Indigenous offenders ending up on remand, a truth-telling inquiry has heard. $100 says the soft drink theft was not the reason for incarceration. Easy. Don’t do crimes and stay out of prison. The critical issue facing many of the indigenous (as well as some non-indigenous) people who are remanded is lack of support / structure in the community. Housing to begin with, and community services to assist in keeping them offence free and stable. It should be a big priority
