Why the NDIS Rally Matters1:58 – 3:47

T

1:58

Welcome back to 3CR Community Radio, 855 AM on your dial.

T

2:02

We are hoping to bring you a little bit of the Save the NDIS rally happening very shortly down at the State Library of Victoria today.

T

2:13

Just to give you a little bit more information about this NDIS National Day of Action.

T

2:19

It's planned for today, the 9th of May, all across the continent to protest some of these proposed NDIS campaigns cuts.

T

2:29

About 160,000 people are slated to be cut from the NDIS, which is a massive impact on the disability community, not just here but everywhere.

T

2:40

There are rallies organised in at least 10 locations, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Hobart.

T

2:46

There's also an online protest option and of course, let people know if they can't make it out, they can tune in here to 3CR Community Radio.

T

2:54

We are going to be bringing you all the speeches and so on as they appear in our beautiful feed here.

T

3:02

Participants are warning that the cuts are going to reduce access to essential supports affecting independence, safety, dignity...

T

3:12

Demonstrations are going to include NDIS participants.

T

3:15

We're going to have disability community members, families, allies doing protest actions and lots of speakers.

T

3:21

So stay tuned, and we're going to be bringing you some of that.

T

3:25

In the meantime, I'm going to play another little track here.

T

3:28

This is by a band called Washed out of Nevada, Las Vegas to be particular.

T

3:34

This song is called Meltdown in a Public Place, and I'm sure a couple of you listening out there can relate to that.

T

3:42

Keep it locked to 3CR and we'll be back with the rally very shortly is my fervent wish.
