Rights for people with disabilities - Tokenism by government is shameful

We have a tendency in this country to clap ourselves on the back when advances are made in ending discriminatory practices.

We have done it in spades since the passing of the marriage equality referendum in 2015 that heralded in a new era of rights for LGBT people.

That was, indeed, a proud moment for the nation as a whole but there are other forms of discrimination that we, shamefully, allow to continue.
