#149 PWD Zane Mackenzie : Why Australia Still Isn’t Fully Inclusive

In this powerful conversation, Dev Singh sits down with Zane to talk about cerebral palsy, mainstream education, disability employment, lived experience, access, independent living, support workers, choice and control, and the future of the NDIS. Zane shares his journey of being born with cerebral palsy, growing up in regional Victoria, moving closer to therapy and education supports, entering mainstream schooling, studying law, building a career, and becoming a strong voice for disability inclusion. His message is clear: people with disability do not just bring need to a workplace or community. They bring skill, perspective, resilience, and lived expertise. The conversation also looks at NDIS reform, provider registration, choice and control, co-design, and why Australia must protect the original intent of the NDIS: flexibility, decision-making power, and the right for people with disability to live an ordinary life. Watch the full episode for a grounded and human conversation about disability inclusion, employment, access, independence, and the right to live an ordinary life.
