I feel So Crap right now so just links, to current pieces of legislation the Australian government is pursuing which actively impede the lives of disabled people:

CALL TO ACTIVISM - Many people with disabilities to be excluded from accessible parking under proposed scheme

This strikes particularly close to home for me because if I get much sicker I'll be in much the same boat as Lauredhel, the main difference is I don't drive so can get Cam to drop me off by the door if I have to.

USA, Canada and the EU attempt to kill treaty to protect blind people's access to written material (yeah, we're not in the headline, we're still doing it)

That change in parking scheme really frightens me.

I'm afraid I've been aware of copyright holders having issues with PWD having access to books for some time, but this is so damned blatant. Grrrr.
