The low employment rate of people with disability in Australia means that one in two Australians with disability live in or near a state of poverty. With Australia ranked last out of the 27 nations of the OECD for people with disability living in poverty, I ask the minister how he would justify Australia falling so far behind the rest of the world in terms of poverty and supporting people with disability.
