Labour to Abandon Controversial Disability Support Bill

Labour has announced its commitment to scrapping the controversial Disability Support Services Bill. This decision follows significant public pressure from people with disabilities, carers, and advocates.

On Thursday, a group gathered at Parliament to present a petition against the bill. Protestors expressed their concerns about the potential negative impact on disability support. The gathering highlighted the voices of those affected and their demand for better support services. Labour's pledge signals a shift in response to the public outcry surrounding the legislation.
