In 2022 and 2023, Children and Young People with Disability Australia – the national representative organisation for children and young people with disability – conducted 3 surveys of children and young people with disability, and their families and carers, about their experiences in early childhood education and school settings. The survey responses show that 29% of children in early childhood education and care settings and 70% of young people in school settings report being excluded from events and activities at school. As well as this, 28% in early childhood education and care settings and 65% in school settings reported experiencing bullying.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time may contain audio images and descriptions of Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islander people who have died. First up on the show, Marisa speaks with Nicole Lee (President of People with Disability Australia), about the anti-trans rally and counterprotest held outside Victorian Parliament last weekend. Standing in solidarity with the trans and gender-diverse community, they condemn the hateful transphobic vilification on the day by transphobic far-right activists and the neo-nazis who were also present. They also discuss the behaviour of police on the day, discrimination, and the urgent need to tighten anti-vilification laws for the safety of all.    Next, Marisa speaks with Ian Rintoul from the Refugee Action Coalition about the refugee and anti-war rallies planned for Palm Sunday, 2nd April 2023, demanding permanent visas for all refugees and also saying no to war, specifically in response to AUKUS and Australia's $368Bn nuclear submarines. A list of rallies around the country is included below.  Finally, Marisa speaks to Kieran Stewart-Assheton, Wani Wandian man and President of the Black Peoples Union, talking about their aims for Indigenous unity for the power to enforce sovereign rights, which will also ultimately benefit the wider working-class. He provides examples of the myriad ways in which government continues to oppress Indigenous peoples with ongoing divide-and-conquer tactics, and challenges in talking sovereignty as the right wing co-opts communal terms to individualistic ends.  Importantly, Kieran gives a comprehensive critical analysis of the proposed Voice to Parliament and the BPU's non-conservative no campaign, pointing to the historical establishment of dozens of synonymous "representative" advisory bodies, and the notorious toothlessness of similar institutions around the world, discussing how to meaningfully plant the seeds of which "our kids and grandkids can bear the fruit". Links to Palm Sunday Rally Events discussed on this program, Sunday 2nd April 2023: VIC Melbourne 1:30pm, State Library Victoria Wonthaggi 2pm, Wonthaggi Mine Whistle (Apex Park) Bendigo 12.30pm, Bendigo Library Gardens Ararat 2pm, Alexandra Gardens (meet at the cafe) Ballarat 2pm, View Point Lake (Wendouree) ACT  Canberra 1pm, Garema Place NSW Sydney 2pm, Belmore Park Lawson (Blue Mountains) 2pm, outside Catholic Church Somers St, Lawson Newcastle 1pm, Civic Park (King Street) Wollongong 2pm, Wollongong Town Hall Griffith 10:30am, Kooyoo St Mall (Griffith) - N.B.

Her new book Dirty Little Secrets, a memoir set in Delhi and Melbourne, takes her readers on a no-holds-barred account of what it means to lose oneself and rise like a phoenix to start anew. “The distance from Delhi to Melbourne is 10,213 km and the total distance to travel in search of oneself is limitless” – Nandita Chakroborty Nandita and I are friends on Facebook. I had no idea that behind her cheery DM's she held secrets, suffered terrible heartache and sustained a disability after falling 40 metres. When we next texted on social media, I asked Nandita if she'd like to be a guest on my podcast channel, Noel Anderson's 15 Mins of Fame . She replied, to my delight. “I'd love to.” Nandita then sent an attachment about the dangers of online dating. Headline – ‘She thought she'd found love, but instead, she was scammed!' “I'm featured in this article. Have you seen the Tinder Swindler?” I hadn't seen the Netflix series. But made a mental note to view it. “Watch it!” she texted back. I hit thumbs up  Listen to “Dirty Little Secrets Podcast!” Nandita supports Disability Australia, Beyond Blue and Bully Zero.

In this episode I have two guests joining me for the first time. I speak with Robina and Belinda about their work in the Disability and Sexual Violence Team at the NSW Health Education Centre Against Violence. This portfolio funding has come out of the Royal Commission into responses to abuse in institutionalised settings to improve responses to people with disability who have experienced sexual violence, as well as for children and young people who are using problematic and harmful sexualised behaviours. They have both had incredible careers demonstrating an ongoing commitment to furthering an intersectional understanding of structural and interpersonal forms of violence and inequalities while trying to cultivate reflective, trauma-informed and socially just responses in direct practice and advocacy. They believe providing education and training is a crucial part of social work practice, as well as social work clinicians being involved in lobbying for structural change.

Today we speak with Mary Sayers, CEO of Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) about their 'more than isolated report'.Children and Young People with Disability Australia launched a survey in the early days of COVID-19 in Australia. It was a survey focused on finding out how children and young people with disability were experiencing the world of COVID-19 and the challenges, changes and disruptions that we've been through and are still going through. The survey results became the basis of CYDA's report, "More than Isolated: the experience of children and young people with disability and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic." It was a report developed in collaboration with UNSW.
