Some have claimed Diviney's actions were a cynical attempt to raise her advocacy platform.Disability rights advocates of colour questioned why Diviney was so quick to call out lyrics
by Black artists Lizzo and Beyoncé but neglected to highlight the issue when white artists used ableist words in their songs.Ola Ojewumi, a double transplant survivor, wheelchair user and advocate for women, people of colour and the disabled, believes Diviney has used white privilege to criticise Black women musicians.
"Many well-intentioned white disability rights activists have yet to reckon with their white privilege and racism," she says. "I don't disagree with Hannah Diviney's statements but I feel the onslaught of criticism for Lizzo and Beyoncé from white disabled advocates is rooted in misogynoir and racial double standards."- was not criticised by white disabled activists in the same immediate and critical manner.
She says when giving people with disabilities platforms as experts, they should take an intersectional approach. "Inclusion is more than just a disabled body. Rather it's our lived experiences and multiple identities," Ojewumi says. Diviney, who uses a wheelchair, says her decision to call out artists appropriating ableist language has "never been about the person but the slur in question".
The word spaz? As in spasm?
The manufactured outrage over this is getting a tad stale. Breathtaking hypocrisy, given how the mainstream media and governments have no qualms about those with disabilities dying or having to live in a society where they are exposed to a dangerous virus all the time.
DefundTheABC
ABC are woke activists - I dont even know what ableist language is. But I can bet you the word was invented in a uni in the last 5 years by someone woke. The race to be the most virtuous.
This is quality. A Shakespearean tragedy has nothing on the outraged and offended in 2022.

Labor would be ‘crazy’ to dump cashless debit cardFormer Labor minister Graham Richardson says he hopes Labor backflip on the abolition of the cashless debit card. “I’ve had some experience with it,” he said. “I think it’s had a very positive effect and I think we’d be crazy to dump it.” Wow. An irrelevant has-been has spoken. Who cares what Richardson thinks? Why do conservatives want such invasive, big government in people's lives? Simple if Putin goes majority boycott. 👍

Left-wing Americans ‘changed’ pro-Palestine view when confronted with ‘true facts’Progressive Americans changed their perception once they were shown the 'true facts' of Palestine's treatment of the LGBTQ+ community, filmmaker Ami Horowitz says. Mr Horowitz travelled to the West Bank and interviewed Palestinians to see what they think about gay people and then played that footage back to progressive Americans. He said 'every single person' he spoke to 'changed' their pro-Palestine position – with one American questioning the accuracy of the left-wing narrative on the issue. 'People are less jaded than you think and when confronted with facts and you have them captured in the sense they're now listening to you ... you can change people's perceptions once the facts, the true facts, are given to them,' Mr Horowitz said. Similar to what happened when Liberal voters in Warringah went Teal from the sheer disgust with Libs..that's what you are arguing isn't it, that we should all be disgusted with the Coalition...OK Got it They simply stuck to their LGBT views

Morrison had ‘huge weight’ on shoulders during pandemicShadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan says former prime minister Scott Morrison had a “huge weight” on his shoulders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr Tehan said he was disappointed Mr Morrison didn’t tell his ministers he swore himself into five portfolios. “I think in hindsight what we wanted to make sure that we were reaching out to him saying that we were there, we wanted to take that responsibility and share it with you and make sure we were doing that,” he told Sky News Australia. “And I think what happened was he took that responsibility and then meant he sort of thought, ‘well I need to be doing more and more', and then he didn’t share that with us.” Which he offloaded the to State Premiers. Poor lil Scumo he carried the nation all by himself and nobody knew until now As Australia’s (cheap intern?) woke teenage reporters like to say “unprecedented”
