Chair: Martin Francis, Green Left. Disability is a label applied to a wide variety of people.
It can be used officially by agencies such as government, or unofficially in
everyday speech, and many more hurtful terms may be used instead. It can lead
to many forms of discrimination against those labelled ‘disabled’, in
employment, in housing, in access to public facilities and in many other
areas. Such discrimination has been challenged by the ‘disabled’ themselves,
but how much has been gained? For further details contact Peter Murry at
