We believe the way Parliamentary debates are conducted creates a febrile environment where people who communicate differently fear they’ll get ripped to shreds. We think this is unacceptable.

A parliamentary candidate has withdrawn his candidacy because of the abuse he's received from political colleagues related to his stammer. People face these issues across society.

It needs to change. Parliament can lead that process of change by itself being inclusive and welcoming of people with communication differences.
