Ok, so I was too bloody sore to go to the rally myself, in Brisbane. But I got this email update from the organising committee;
Dear Supporter,
What an amazing day!
15,000 Australians around the country have sent a message, loud
and clear. It's time to Make the NDIS Real.
Today Canberra responded. Prime Minister Julia Gillard addressed
the Sydney rally and announced the National Disability Insurance
Scheme would be launched in four sites across the country next
year, supporting more than 10,000 Australians with a disability
at launch.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott joined passionate campaign
supporters in Perth and told the rally "everyone should get a
fair go and that's what the National Disability Insurance Scheme
is about".
We have had some great news today – but we can't stop yet. We can
't stop until the NDIS is introduced for everyone, for good.
And here's a clip of Tim McCallum - singing 'You're The Voice' at the Sydney Rally-(and some nice candid moments, shots of supporters with the PM, too!
