The Greens are urging the government to spend $1 billion making buildings and public spaces more accessible to people with disabilities as there are mounting concerns that too many are segregated from mainstream life.
This marks a broader policy to be launched, aimed at improving and integrating people with disabilities in housing, education, and employment.
Greens disability spokesman, Jordan Steele-John, says “the reality for disabled people in Australia today is very different to people who do not journey with a disability”.
