Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen
Submission for Disability Discrimination Act 1992
Subject to Changes to the Act 2004
“William Shakespeare” once said the “Choices we make in like dictate the way we live”. He also said to thine own self be true. Then he said from the very day that we are born we also begin to die. Two other words must also be considered

Sanctuary and Compassion

Many changes need to be done in regards to changes to this "Discrimination act of 2004, for there are many forms of age discrimination and this means all ages and also all forms of "Discrimination against all of the people.

"Disability Parking Tickets".
Disability parking systems need to change they are not working properly at this present moment in time. One thing that can make this work properly is a huge fine for people who are using these tickets inappropriately. Something like $5,000 for those who use there parents disability stickers to go shopping. Another way is for fines issued for any Doctors who give out these "Disability Tickets" to any body who does not require them an appropriate fine of $10,000 would soon cure this problem. I see many people jumping into and out of work trucks with no disabilities who have "Disability Tickets". If you need proof of this just ask a parking inspector or sit in a car park and see for your selves. By the way I recently saw the first new Disability Photo Identity.

"Centre Link Problems".
•	There are many problems with "Centre-Link"; for instance recently I have had many problems with discrimination by centre link. This also applies to many people who are on in‑adequate pensions, and discrimination against some self‑funded retired personal. One case I know of is a man who married a younger person from another country he finally got her citizen ship and permanent residency only to loose most of his money. Because she cannot get a pension so she had to go to work to make the home more comfortable and he able to live in a manner of well being. Then when this happens he loses some more of his pension then he is so stressed out he almost become suicidal. This to me sounds exactly the teachings of "Adolph Hitlers from World War 2" no freedom.

•	In my own case the same as many other personal, I am in an unusual position of receiving a Totally & Permanent Incapacity (T.P.I.) pension from the "Department of Veterans Affairs". Now because my injuries were not received in a war zone I do not receive a "War Pension". My disabilities happened here in Australia that happened after being sent to Darwin on the 26th day of December 1974. When an Advance Party was recalled from our annual leave on the 20 day of December 1974 for a briefing.

•	We were placed under the command of the "Director of National Disasters Committee" which was set up by the then "Australian Government". Then the "National Disasters Director Major General Allen Stretton" was then placed in command. This action was deemed as a "National Emergency" and was called "Operational Service from the 25'h day of December 1974 until the 28th day of December 1974" this included all those who arrived on these dates and worked on the clean up for the next 90 days. Any body who arrived after these dates were not included as Operational Service personal. Now because of all of what I have just spoken about the "Armed Service". The Federal Government as deemed that the (T.P.I.) was to be now considered as income by Centre-Link. When in fact it is compensation for service's for and on behalf of my country.

•	My wife has been "Discriminated against because her Age Pension per fortnight is $244.14 was at the date of the 18th day of June 2003. While mine is at the very same date the amount of $244.94 this does not include my (T.P.l.), which are for injuries caused while being a member of the "Royal Australian Armed Service". This brings both my wife's pension and my own pension to a total of $489.08 per fortnight, which is under the standard rate of $500.00 required by the "Department of Housing". In regards to this matter it effects many other ex-service personal, and many other pensioners. Is this where the Honorable John Howard got his war chest money for his commitment to the American President Mr. George Bush for his war in Iraq?

•	Now it would also appear that the "Department of Housing at Blacktown" as now taken my (T.P.I.) into consideration and saying they are not, they say that my wife and my self. Receive a fortnightly income of $707.86 from Centre-Link and then connect them to the "Department of Veteran Affairs". When in fact my wife gets her money from Centre-Link and my payment is paid to me by Veterans Affairs which includes the Centre-Link payment of $244.94 for my self and from Centre-Link for my wife $244.14 as stated earlier making again the total of $489.08. This does not include my (T.P.I.)

Breakdown in our Public Schools
It would appear that the Federal Government not supplying enough money to these projects and giving more support to private schools causes the breakdown in our public schools. It may be that the State Government's of all schools and also the Federal Government take a look at a school that is run in the "Northern Territory" called Yiperinyah which is situated in Alice Springs. This school is an aboriginal school that was set up by the local aboriginal "Elders of Alice Springs"; I have had the greatest pleasure of meeting these people while doing a field trip. This was during my studies at Macquarie University, but unfortunately I never received my copy of that field trip this was caused by the aboriginal part of Macquarie University. What the point of this story is about is the fact that this particular school was set up by the local Elders with out any money supplied by either the State or Federal Governments.

This Ladies and Gentlemen is the greatest school that I have ever seen in my life run by a dedicated group of black and white people who run this very school. Which to me means that all of the other States and Territories need to take a look at this because this is a very successful story in regards to this school.

Public breakdown in out. Hospitals Systems
One of the greatest problems with the breakdown of our hospital systems is not the fact that they are public or private hospitals. It is the fact that they do not follow the old system of not enough staff. There are not enough cleaners this work is all contracted out which it would appear to me is not working in an equitable manner. Nursing staff should be treated in a more respectable manner as also should the Doctors be. Many court cases are causing many problems when doctors are being sued which mean Barristers and Solicitors are making a Hugh amount of money. Thus creating many problems of Doctors and Nurse's leaving all of the Hospitals systems. I personally don't blame them because they do a wonderful job while under a lot of pressure, which is cause by people who are money hungry while these professional people just want to get on with their work. But then we do have some very greedy people who are only there for the money or for political gain. All other submissions written or supplied by my self are in confidentiality:
