People can only learn by doing and experience, and be informed by that going forward. I ask Mr. Hannigan first and then our other guests to comment on how a lack of access to appropriate housing and accessible public transport impacts on people with disabilities in gaining and, importantly, staying in employment. If it takes a massive effort to get into work, you might be able to do it on day 1 but then there is day 2, day 100 and day 200. For people who have to live in or travel to big urban centres, how does that work? How does that constitute a barrier?
