    I impulsively bought a single bottle of a fizzy premix at the bottle shop the other day that had way more alcohol in it than I realised. I think I’ll drink that tonight.

    My congratulations and condolences to everyone involved in this report and the reasons behind its necessity. It is painful, grossly overdue, and simultaneously vindicating.

      Yep absolutely feel the same way. I helped a few people make their submissions and it was a difficult but ultimately empowering process for them. I hope these stories help the wider community to understand how prevalent violence, abuse and neglect is in disabled people’s lives and how we can all work towards preventing this.

        Brutal. Thankyou for your time and energy and emotional labour. I hope whatever you drank to celebrate/commiserate tasted much better than my impulse-purchase premix. I understand why it was discounted now.
