Text beside a black and white photo showing trainline directed to a distant building (Auschwitz). Text reads "Canberra Disability Review. "The language that Hitler and his followers used was designed to frame people with disability as being less than human and a burden on society. The ugly political and social repetition of the language seeded those abhorrent views in a general public that was ready to be swayed by a ranting, wretched incarnation of all their dissatisfaction and hatred." Autumn 2025 Canberra Disability Review."" Text includes link to www.advocacyforinclusion.org/cdr/

Text beside a photo of an outdoor sculpture of a ball beneath two curved metal shells. Text reads "Canberra Disability Review.

Background photo showing edge of wave on sand. Photo is overlaid by cover of Canberra Disability Review and text that reads "I wonder if one of our great national mistakes is found in our tendency to outsource the work of deep listening. The Disability Royal Commissioners were undoubtedly moved and changed by the many hard stories that they heard, but how moved and changed has the nation been in the months that have followed? Sometimes it seems we ask others to listen, on our behalf, so we are spared the effort and kept at a distance from any challenging disturbances that might come through hearing another's truth."
