PWDA campaign against the BSWAT Payment Scheme Bill 2014

People with Disability Australia is campaigning to have the BSWAT Payment Scheme Bill rejected in the Senate:

People with Disability Australia, in partnership with national peak disability and advocacy organisations, invite you to endorse our Joint Statement to Senators to VOTE NO and reject the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool (BSWAT) Payment Scheme Bill 2014. 

The Federal and High Courts of Australia have determined that the BSWAT discriminates against people with intellectual disability. However, this Bill will not provide compensation or an effective remedy for people affected by the unlawful discrimination of the BSWAT. 

We need your help to protect and promote the rights of people with intellectual disability:

You can also use the Joint Statement and Background Information to tell your Senator why they should vote against the Bill. 

We expect the Bill to be voted on before the end of August so take action now!
Thank you for your support, 

People with Disability Australia
