While COVID19 turns our lives upside down, it's
important to stop and learn from people who have learnt to thrive
in what others perceive to be turbulence. Today we talk to Linda
Hughes about constantly adjusting to what life throws in her
direction while balancing the supports and complexity of high needs
disability. Linda is a fierce social justice advocate and was
recognised as Newcastle's Woman of the Year. We talk about the
realities facing people with disability right now, the importance
of independence and choice while navigating a complex National
Disability insurance scheme.
