Key points:
- The disability royal commission is wrapping up after four-and-a-half years
- Emotions ran high at the commission’s ceremonial closing, attended by people with disability from across the country
- The inquiry’s chair says the media hasn’t given the inquiry the attention it deserves
Solidarity with all my fellow disabled folks today.

“I have also been told that there is fear — fear that disability is contaminating, infecting the lives of the non-disabled community with sight, sound, and behaviour that might disturb and interfere with non-disabled lives,” Dr Galbally said.
“For example, I have been told that there is fear that having disabled students in mainstream classrooms will be detrimental to the education of non-disabled students … yet, research presented to the commission shows this fear does not have any legitimate basis.”
