Parliament House

Disabled people and allies are coming together this Saturday for a silent vigil to oppose the cuts the Labor government has proposed to the NDIS.

This vigil is part of a national day of action organised by the @Protect Our NDIS Alliance ahead of the upcoming Senate vote on the NDIS Bill scheduled for Friday 14 August 2026.

The Labor Government is proposing changes that will cut essential supports, and people with disability will die. If the NDIS Bill passes, it will reduce access to essential supports people rely on every day, impacting independence, safety, dignity and daily life. Over 241,000 disabled people will be removed from the NDIS, and 106,000 more disabled people will be refused access, with nowhere for them to go. The government is making a political choice to cut supports for disabled people. We have to scrap the NDIS Bill and stop these cuts!

This vigil will be held on stolen Kaurna Yarta.

Because this is a rapid-response, snap action, we have zero funding and only a few days to build a fully accessible resource hub for our disabled community. We need healthy allies and local supporters to help us source these supplies by Friday night or bring them directly on Saturday morning.

CAN YOU LEND OR DONATE TODAY? Sturdy Chairs: We need 10–12 heavy-duty plastic or wooden chairs for our seating zone (no flimsy camping chairs). Masks: Unopened boxes of N95, KN95, or P2 masks to keep high-risk attendees safe. Supplies: Cartons of bottled water, electrolyte sachets, sunscreen, and individually wrapped earplugs. If you can drop off any of these items to North Terrace at 10:15 AM this Saturday, or if you can bring them to Adelaide Activist Centre on Hindley St before Saturday, please DM us.

Accessibility Note: The event is completely flat, low-sensory, fragrance-free, and strictly silent. No shouting or chanting. We will use visual cue boards and Deaf clapping. A more comprehensive Event, Accessibility & Participation Plan will be available closer to the day.

Get involved, fight for something that you care about, push to make our country a better and safer place not only for Women but for every Australian. See you on Saturday Nov 1st ! South Australia decriminalised abortion in 2022 and is a fundamental right to the freedom of choice. Now, less than a year after similar legislation was defeated, a new bill threatens to roll back our rights. It would ban terminations after 23 weeks-even in cases of mental health crisis—unless the mother’s life is at risk or there are severe fetal abnormalities. As seen in the United States, these rollbacks on Abortion rights is and will be a slippery slope. Stand your ground and fight for your rights, let them hear you. This is not about protecting life. This is about controlling it. It’s about controlling you. We stand for: Bodily autonomy Compassionate healthcare Evidence-based policy Respect for complex, personal decisions Join us on the steps of Parliament House to say: Our bodies, our choices.

Join us at Parliament House on Thursday 16th May as we launch a campaign to repeal the undemocratic SA anti-protest laws on the first anniversary of their introduction.

Passed by the South Australian Parliament in just 20 minutes, and without consultation, these laws escalated penalties in the Summary Offences Act for obstructing public places from $750 to $50,000 (or 3 months) imprisonment. These new laws are part of a concerning trend nationwide of introducing legislation to repress protest. They broaden the scope of offences that police can use and further criminalise peaceful community activism.

Protests and social movements have delivered our civil and political rights. Tolerance of dissent and even civil disobedience are hallmarks of a strong democracy. History has vindicated many acts of disobedience, including ‘Votes for Women’, the global suffrage movement; American Civil Rights Movement; Builder’s Labourers Federation Green Bans; and Vietnam Moratorium marches that blocked Adelaide intersections. With implied threats of extreme fines and jail time, the new laws have had a chilling and repressive effect on protest. This often disproportionately impacts those with marginalised identities, who so often have played a key role in bringing about social change.

The South Australian community deserves laws that are the result of deliberation and consultation, not policy on the run, so we’re calling on the SA Parliament to go back to drawing board and reconsider them.
