Hanson's comments remind us we still have a long way to go
As Disability Discrimination Commissioner, it is my job to promote and protect the rights of people with disability. So when a person who has been elected to represent the concerns and aspirations of the Australian people uses the floor of Parliament to suggest that students with disability should be denied their right to inclusive education, put simply, it hurts.
Senator Hanson's comments in Parliament this week remind us that although as a nation we have come far in the advancement of the rights of people with disability, we still have a long way to go.
