The amendment states: "has recovered from that long-term illness or any other long-term illness” but should include the word "disability". My amendment simply proposes that the words "ceases to have" be replaced with the words "has recovered from".

I can understand if that is in the Parental Leave Act or whatever, and why it might be taken from there, but it is that kind of medicalised approach to disability. It is only a small change. What kind of disability would a child cease to have, for example?
