There are fears in the Australian community that disability is "infecting" and interfering with the lives of non-disabled people, a disability royal commissioner has told its closing ceremony in Sydney.

Key points:

  • The disability royal commission is wrapping up after four-and-a-half years
  • Emotions ran high at the commission’s ceremonial closing, attended by people with disability from across the country
  • The inquiry’s chair says the media hasn’t given the inquiry the attention it deserves

Solidarity with all my fellow disabled folks today.
