In this episode Susan speaks to Western Australia Greens Senator, Jordon Steele-John.
We talk about his first day working at Parliament House as a person with a disability, the importance of disability representation in politics and diversity and how including people with disabilities in legislation goes well beyond topics such as the NDIS and Disability Support Pension.
