Part 3 Sam Petersen [book excerpt, disability protest]

Sam is a power wheelchair user and uses AAC to communicate. We discuss NDIS reforms, including concerns around registration of support workers, also issues around housing - young people with disability being relegated to aged care facilities and the harmful reality of group homes, perspectives coming from Sam's own lived experiences. We hear an excerpt from Sam’s book “The Slow Violence Cookbook” and explore the importance of COVID precautions; in light of the forgotten ongoing rate of deaths. Finally we touch on the struggles and vulnerability of people with disability who resist through protest.
