We speak with Ali France MP, Member for Dickson. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of sport and community involvement for people with disabilities, the challenges and opportunities within the NDIS system, and the importance of listening to disabled voices in policy reform.

The podcast highlighted how crucial community support is for individuals with disabilities. Being surrounded by people facing similar challenges creates a sense of belonging and understanding. This environment fosters open discussions about shared experiences, leading to better coping strategies and increased confidence. For instance, one participant shared how participating in sports helped them gain confidence and ultimately influenced their decision to enter politics. They stated, "It really changed my world. I don't think I would have ended up in politics had it not gone through that experience."
