THE Greens won't accept a budget that does not include increased spending on aged care and disabilities, raising the prospect that Julia Gillard may face trouble in the Senate if her surplus is achieved in a way that is unacceptable to the party that helps keep her in power. The Greens said yesterday the government would be delivering a "fake surplus" if the May budget did not include investments in aged care and disability reform. goo.gl/WPcjL

Are the greens the only ones speaking out for those with a disability? I like the idea of a national disability insurance scheme, but what about not insisting that people who are deemed as unable to work, should have have an employment plan? What about raising the quality of service from Centrelink? And what about the changes to the impairment tables which make it much harder for those with multiple disabilities and mental health disabilities to qualify for the DSP? I know there are a few people on this board who think that those under 35s should be made to satisfy participation requirements, but why should any form of discrimination against the disabled be supported? A disability is a disability, regardless of age. We should band together on any attacks on the disabled!

I'm not sure I want the rest of this on the board Abby, maybe you can recruit disciples by PM or email and leave it off the open forum for now. Banjo
