February 28 Decency Day to encourage discussion
of the important issues for people with
disability in New South Wales.
PDCN's designated
priorities for the day are:

assistance
- Access to equipment
and
- Transport.
Through our presence our
and participation in the State's democratic
process, PDCN hopes tor further promote and
encourage equality of citizenship for people
with Disabilities in NSW.
Decency Day is PDCN's way
of responding to the words of Premier Iemma:
"My point of
passion and conviction is to commit myself
to...care and assistance for the
disabled…these are matters of simple
decency.
We have allowed
these issues to slip off the broad political
agenda. We need to put them back
there."

opportunity to discuss disability issues with
our elected representatives, policy makers and
