Last week Justine Elliot MP met with Shona Robertson and her mother Penny, who is chair of Down Syndrome International, to show her support for the Every Australian Counts (I Count) campaign for a National Disability Insurance Scheme. Shona is headed to New York to address the United Nations about independent living for those with a disability. She will be one of eight ‘self advocates’ from all over the world who will participate in the first-ever conference on Down Syndrome, titled Building Our Future, to be held at the UN.
