Living Independently and Advocacy Matters

Lachlan and James share their stories of housing and living independently with a disability.
Also discussed is the recent news of planned cuts to advocacy orgs in NSW and what that means for advocacy.
The NSW coalition government plans to cut independent disability advocacy funding from June this year as the NDIS rolls out. 

A campaign has been launched to fight this called Standbyme.org.au
