@shanehryhorec: LET ME IN: Mark Butler’s Office Isn’t Accessible I went to meet Federal Disability Minister Mark Butler but I couldn’t get through the front door. There were stairs, no doorbell, and the only way in was through a back roller door. If the Disability Minister’s own office isn’t accessible, what does that say about inclusion in Australia? #Accessibility #Inclusion #DisabilityRights #AccessMatters #Australia
The Federal DISABILITY minister without disability access is actually wild! 😳

Any "accomodations" that require a person to have a secondary human assist with utilizing the "accomodations" means it is, in fact, NOT ACCESSIBLE!! In the states, you could sue him on the grounds of ADA violations, I wish those kinds of legal protections existed everywhere and were more commonly enforced. Making the world more accessible for the most disabled people tends to in turn make it more accessible for everyone, not just the people the accommodations were initially designed to assist.

America can be a real garbage hellscape, but after spending three weeks in Europe, I truly believe we killed it with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

I would normally say that there’s a chance they can’t change the building but that’s like the one guy who can

getting that sign made knowing full well that the ramp doesn't meet any of the access requirements is truly wild

I hate when something is considered “accessible” when it requires other people to assist (roller door needs to be opened, furniture needs to be moved) - accessible should mean you can get in without having to have someone else needed to gain entry. My son (wheelchair user) couldn’t access the office to get the keys for his SDA apartment because it was a pull door. He has quadriplegia and can’t grip a door handle. The irony was not lost on us!

Politicians should be accessible to everyone. That’s their whole job.

I mean. the federal disability minister having an inaccessible office shows exactly how lots of people in the australian disability community are feeling. unheard. discriminated against. left out.

I’m pretty sure they’re legally required to have a wheelchair accessible office.

the fact that he argued with you on the fact whether or not there was a doorbell and only accepted it when an able bodied person confirmed it says it all 🙄🙄

If this situation was in a TV show like utopia you'd look at it and go "that's a bit of heavy handed writing". So for it to be real is truly cooked

This is why diversity is so important in all organisations; they need to reflect the community they serve.

All offices should be accessible, but PARTICULARLY the disability minister’s office should be extra accessible.

The fact that he chose to do back and forth about doorbell tells me all about him.

Yet as a business owner in Australia we legally must supply a ramp or access to our businesses 🤔
