Centrelink Pulse is a newsletter that is sent out to all 800,000 Disability Support Pensioners who have a postal address in Australia. It is usually 4 or 5 pages, printed in colour. They often announce new laws about Centrelink payments after the laws are passed by the Australian Parliament.

I think it would a great idea if Centrelink Pulse could publicise the new Unlimited Portability laws in Centrelink Pulse, and send out the newsletter to 800,000 Disability Support Pensioners.
It is part of the international obligations of the Australian Government, to raise awareness of the Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
I have read this, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which has been signed by the Australian Government (it's a contract with the international community of nations):
www.un.org/disabilities/convention/conventionfull.shtml
And I note Article 8:
Article 8 - Awareness-raising
1. States Parties undertake to adopt immediate, effective and appropriate measures:
To raise awareness throughout society, including at the family level, regarding persons with disabilities, and to foster respect for the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities;
To combat stereotypes, prejudices and harmful practices relating to persons with disabilities, including those based on sex and age, in all areas of life;
To promote awareness of the capabilities and contributions of persons with disabilities.
Measures to this end include:
Initiating and maintaining effective public awareness campaigns designed:
To nurture receptiveness to the rights of persons with disabilities;
To promote positive perceptions and greater social awareness towards persons with disabilities;
To promote recognition of the skills, merits and abilities of persons with disabilities, and of their contributions to the workplace and the labour market;
Fostering at all levels of the education system, including in all children from an early age, an attitude of respect for the rights of persons with disabilities;
Encouraging all organs of the media to portray persons with disabilities in a manner consistent with the purpose of the present Convention;
Promoting awareness-training programmes regarding persons with disabilities and the rights of persons with disabilities.

To nurture receptiveness to the rights of persons with disabilities
This is what the Australian Government must do! It's in the contract!
I propose that the Australian Government, through the publication "Centrelink Pulse", shall nurture receptiveness to the rights of persons with disabilities, by including in the Centrelink Pulse magazine a full double-page feature article about how all severely and extremely disabled Disability Support Pensioners now have a recognized human right to travel and live in South East Asia, or anywhere else in the world. The feature article could even include colour photographs of beautiful tropical destinations in South East Asia, as a way of nurturing receptiveness.
We shall publicise and raise awareness of the Human Right of Liberty of Movement of Disabled Australian People.
THE VIRGIN GALACTIC SKY PARTY
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_galactic
Richard Branson is a distant cousin of mine, and he also owns 20 per cent of Air Asia, and is good friends with Air Asia CEO Tony Fernandes. I have received a reply to my letter, sent through family connections.
The Virgin Galactic Sky Party will take place during a suborbital space flight over South East Asia. Six lucky winners will be selected from the members enrolled in the DSPoverseas website. The Sky Party will be broadcast live on all of the Australian TV channels, and broadcast live worldwide on BBC and CNN. Cocktails will be served by angels.
Simultaneously, Air Asia will offer a single FREE FLIGHT to 50,000 Australian Disability Support Pensioners, through a lottery open to all of the 800,000 DSPers (promoted in Centrelink Pulse, no less). And then further promotions, sales and discounts especially for Aussie DSPers. This will promote Air Asia and increase its customer numbers in Australia. As well as promoting the Human Rights of Disabled People.
That is my glorious vision: hundreds upon hundreds of aeroplanes launching from Australia into Asia every day. Thousands upon tens of thousands of Aussie DSPers flooding into Asia every day. Millions upon millions of joyous moments created. Billions upon billions of dollars enriching the world. Trillions upon trillions of souls uplifted.
