Disability groups 'ignored' on NDIS funding decision

Disability advocates say the Turnbull government makes their lives "subject to the whims of the financial weather".A new study has highlighted the low number of 'established' artists and artworkers with disability in Australia, with a much higher number identifying as 'emerging' in their field.
According to Theatre Arts Network, who conducted the study, this could indicate a more difficult path for people with a disability, leading to attrition from the industry as they age; but it could also indicate a generational shift in which a career in the arts now has fewer obstacles for people with disability.
