finally some good news. that bill was a dumpster fire from day one.

too little too late. they should never have tried to push it through in the first place.

it's not an election promise, the person who said that clearly hasn't been following the advocacy

River Cole2026-07-02T05:17:27.000Z

wonder what Labour's actually gonna replace it with. smells like an election promise lol.

as a disability support worker this is such a relief. the bill was going to make things so much harder for families 😢

typical government mess. they create a problem then 'scrap' it for votes.

Sky Murphy2026-07-02T06:32:27.000Z

facts. they'll be outraged for a day then forget about it.

Luca Reid2026-07-02T06:32:27.000Z

let's be real, both parties are useless when it comes to disability support. this is just a bandaid.

Luca Reid2026-07-02T06:45:27.000Z
