yeah i mean what what are you what question are you gonna bring up or ask the politicians gosh
um what am i gonna ask them maybe something like I don't know, maybe something like, do you care about disabled people?
No,
maybe
not.
Do
your policies actually reflect you caring for our communities? Have you actually consulted
with the community and like, yes, maybe, maybe we'll have a good think about that one.
Yeah.
I feel
like you'd have some good
questions.
I mean, is it naughty to be like, if you could be disabled, what disability would you have? No.
Sorry, that's probably not right.
What disability?
no we can't ask that Olivia goodness me
we could throw in some like cheeky curveballs like what is article 17 of the UNCRPD I
don't know what that
is I don't know either but we could ask them that so if any of the panellists are watching now I guess they could research that Anyway, if they're avid crypto thinkers.
I guess talking about the elections, some of our friends at All Is For All are also partnering with the Electoral Commission, so they're working together to share some accessibility information in the lead up to the general election.
So the sessions will cover things like how to enrol, accessible ways to vote, what support is available, any questions you might have.
Yeah, so I think it's really good that there's like more resources and information out there to get involved in voting.
So there are two more Zoom sessions on the 15th and the 20th of October.
And the sessions are designed for deaf and disabled, carers, whānau and community.
So you can contact electioninfosessions at allisforall.com for more information.
