03:09
and I going down streets saying hi and
03:12
people first to like get him back to the
03:16
community what he what I was learning
03:19
experience I've been losing my pass like
03:22
training education um my disabilities
03:27
you know being indigenous as well in a
03:31
small community like this it's its major
03:35
here so I try my best to help out again
03:39
it's good to know people that are there
03:41
so just as a strong you know knowing
03:44
people out there deciding they can be
03:49
western-type assessments but it's also
03:52
needing to be and this can only be done
03:55
by Aboriginal people the assessments
03:57
from a cultural perspective around what
04:00
their needs are and what their access to
04:02
those cultural supports and provides the
04:05
cultural security for Aboriginal people
04:08
that feed so much into keeping our
04:11
spirituality strong feelings strong mind
04:16
strong and which can all be
04:20
termed as social and emotional
04:22
well-being so country language family
04:26
being able to be out in you know on the
04:31
land and being able to partake in
04:33
important events they're all critical to
04:38
you know ensuring the cultural security
04:41
is being respected and acknowledged and
04:44
responded to in terms of an individual's
04:46
need when NDIS first came to town I
04:53
became the first path participant as I
04:56
color
04:57
um and it's so good it was the that's
05:01
when I saw yeah you know something Goods
05:04
going to happen you know at least people
05:08
with disabilities and aging love
05:10
upgrades or what the needs I'm sure this
05:15
will changed everything in the community
05:17
as well
05:17
I'll show NDIS is quite challenging
05:23
and why it's bit hard for me yeah
05:30
paperwork and stuff like that
05:33
oh no that money goes to Eric
05:36
re-shipping Alice it sounds me for like
05:39
budgeting and stuff parties doing my
05:42
money if I wanna go trips to the trips
05:45
and stuff that's that's budgeting saying
05:50
like that she got she got me as a Karass
05:52
to take care of me and because I learned
05:56
some things about how she went through
05:59
some hard times I told Heidi is to run
06:06
help don't do anything if I go and tell
06:10
them yeah I'm waiting for this done
06:15
wrong curse every month yeah whitey
06:22
straight whitey I wasn't really happy
06:26
about that because everything wasn't
06:28
going under building this plant and
06:31
that's why I stood up for her and I said
06:35
I told them you know you have to come
06:36
back and sit down with Belinda and make
06:40
agreement with her to find the money for
06:45
attire
06:47
and really we only have from this one
06:50
year because she fell off and that was a
06:53
bad I remember a month other way seven
06:58
month long time I lived on my own for a
07:02
long time
07:03
I have people whenever I want that's
07:05
what I like to just sit and talk you
07:08
know I love being I have my own space
07:12
that's it I mean I would like to have
07:15
Papa our housing that I can get into
07:18
outdoors you know some days are gonna be
07:21
hot and tiring for me to go up and down
07:23
up and down because I get a lot so yeah
07:27
and it's how having steps going from the
07:31
back front and there's no rap anyway we
07:36
leaves like more flats there are no more
07:38
disability accessible it feeds into that
07:42
question of you know you don't just roll
07:46
out a policy and a program and expect
07:49
everyone to fit in and and you know
07:53
hence the one size fits all there needs
07:56
to be the acknowledgement of the
07:57
diversity of situations across the
08:00
country cause there's going to be some
08:02
very common issues very you know common
08:06
threads that that Criss crosses around
08:09
communities whether you're in urban
08:12
Australia or rural and remote settings
08:14
but there's also the need for the
08:19
cultural intelligence and to be informed
08:22
and that that's an obligation on anyone
08:26
who's entering into communities where
08:28
there's strong cultural groups people
08:31
are living here with their own histories
08:34
and their own experiences of that I had
08:39
like three different planners nails and
08:42
shocking didn't learn nothing about my
08:44
thing
08:46
recruiting new people in your town but
08:48
they don't know anything about you know
08:51
the culture disability and I heard the
08:54
person I gonna deal with I hope they
08:57
were like find something like what I
08:58
understand I'm the client dreams and get
09:04
to know them all better and I'm and
09:06
person and don'twe depressants didn't
09:11
know what's weird though I just like to
09:13
get my plan done already you know I'd
09:16
like to have more exercisable in my
09:18
place benches to be lower and I'd like
09:22
to maybe get a car alone oh good for my
09:26
license well really I like to see all
09:32
these people who are disability should
09:36
have people from their own community and
09:40
set up set them up as a port numbers to
09:46
support them
09:48
we need more talking like this to have
09:50
disability clients that can speak up for
09:54
themselves
09:55
cause if student we're not talking to
09:58
them would be we want to hear their
10:04
voice you know so I reckon if we get
10:10
together and talk through all these
10:13
clients what tithing who how do they
10:17
want to see their voice to be heard
10:22
I think that's the best idea
10:28
