Don’t strip me of my wheels to rescue me!

Not so long-ago Tony and I went to a show at a Melbourne Theatre. The wheelchair user seating was on the left-hand wall aisle near the draughty exit doors. There was an option given for Tony to transfer onto a theatre seat. The drawback was the wheelchair would be taken away and stored in the mangers office until after the performance had finished.

Emergency plan was government cure for“invisible grim reaper” COVID-19 virus

In 2020 nearly every government on Earth panicked and fell into the same New World Order trap. Both COVID-19 and Black Summer bushfires are individual disasters that started as emergency situations. One was caused by nature the other by a man-made reaction to World Health Organisation “virus pandemic propaganda”. In the case of COVID-19 all government in Australia failed its citizens.

The Social Model of Disability is a joke Joyce!

Australia’s proud culture was built on taking the Micky out of all and sundry especially ourselves. Jokes are a fantastic tool to allow people to see and be educated in the variation in culture and individual situations. An individual reaction to a joke provides an insight into that individual’s belief system. Nothing more, nothing less.   Offense comes from within the self and cannot be […]
