The next meeting of the Disability Speaks steering committee will be held at the Disability Information Resource Centre (DIRC) on Thursday 4th March at 12.30pm.
From Disability Speaks:
With the SA election campaign now in full swing we need to ensure we provide a balanced update of the promises of all major political parties and any public events between the meeting and the election.
All are welcome to attend!
We hope by this date to have the ALP Official 2010 Election Policy
We will also have by then the transcripts of the presentations made and the answers too the 8 key questions asked of our political leaders at the public meeting last week.
These will no doubt be closely scrutinized by the broad disability community.
The Liberal Policies while polished and rhetorically strong may or may not be the best offer on the table in the lead up to the election.
With the major thrust of the public campaign in the media having moved very firmly onto a platform of “who can you trust”, the disability sector will no doubt be looking for the same outcome!
Too often in the past the major parties have promised the world and delivered little. Disability guarantees have been worthless.
Disability Speaks is committed to ensuring our disability parliamentary leaders will be held accountable in both the short and long term in 2010.
While working towards the important state election outcome Disability Speaks is also focused on the long term.
