The federal government is being accused of ignoring the Disability Royal Commission’s request for the inquiry to be extended.
The commission chair reached out to the prime minister and attorney-general in October last year, seeking a 17-month extension due to the scope of inquiry and impact of the pandemic.
Earlier this month, acting Attorney-General Michaelia Cash said the government was still deciding on the request with an announcement to be made “in due course”.
So far the commission has heard from over 200 witnesses and received more than 2000 submissions.
As public hearing 9 on employment continues in Brisbane this week, we’re going to look back on some of the stories witnesses have already shared with the commission.
4ZZZ reporter Tina Agic has the details.
