Episode 81 - Premieres Monday 29 May 2006
Hosts: Stella Young, Sara McQueenie and George Taleporos
We explore the new tenancy rights for people living in Community Residential Units (CRUs) as a result of changes in the Disability Act, and speak to David Imber from the Tenants Union of Victoria, Pauline Williams from AMIDA and David Petheric from the Office of the Public Advocate.
Our favourite diabetic, lesbian, ex-Mormon comic Sue-Ann Post joins us to discuss her latest project - a professional development seminar called The Art Of Dealing With Damage. After seventeen years of telling her story on stage (and members of the audience sharing theirs in the foyer afterwards), Sue-Ann has come to the conclusion that everyone is damaged to some degree and has teamed up with facilitator Elisabeth Speller to deliver this workshop that promises diversity training with a difference. Full details are available at www.sue-annpost.com.au
In a live-in-the-studio exclusive Macca speaks to Chris Harwood from Victorian Wheel Weights about the Tyrefill process, which makes wheelchair tyres solid and therefore immune from the dangers of glass and nails. Victorian Wheel Weights can be contacted on (03) 9706-6622.
