00:00We're talking about bathrooms that don't even have accessible railing on there, but could
00:15have it in the future because it's reinforced.
00:16We're talking about having at least one level access to the building.
00:17We're talking about having a bathroom on the ground floor.
00:18This is not hard.
00:19I want to be able to move out of the room one day and live and go to work and be able
00:38to use the bathroom or even just get around my own home independently.
00:42I want that opportunity just like everybody else.
00:44And so I truly implore the government to sign up to the silver standard for housing accessibility
00:45because that will open up so many avenues for people with disabilities, older Australians,
00:46any person who needs accessibility measures to live true, long-term lives.
