Throughout the year, The Wire has covered what Australians with disability can achieve and what the government is proposing to be more inclusive.
The achievements of advocates and community members with disabilities is a big step towards the inclusivity.
Graeme Innes is a blind lawyer who fought against the bigotry of low expectations to achieve professional success.
With his resilience, he challenged a systemic discrimination by becoming a lawyer.
He is a former Disability Discrimination Commissioner and spoke with Powerd Media’s Emma Myers about how his resilience helped him to be a successful lawyer.
