Congratulations to Ali France on winning the seat of Dickson.

With her campaign having been focused on accessibility and inclusion, alongside her lived experience as an amputee and para-athlete, Australia’s disability community looks forward to finally having a voice at the table.

Hopefully Government will now be led by the Disability Royal Commission’s recommendation for establishment of a Department of Disability Equality and Inclusion and the introduction of a Minister for Disability Inclusion portfolio.

A big congratulations also to Senator Jordon Steele-John for being re-elected at Saturday’s federal elections.

Thank you for all that you’ve done so far for Australia’s disability community and for all that you’ll continue to bring to your position moving forwards.
