Along with other disabled people Kris Roguski, National Chairperson and Midland Region President and Ronnie Sione, President of the Northern Region asked questions for the government at the online forum. The questions were based on recommendations from IMM’s Making Rights Real report and the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Person with Disabilities.
