Mr. John Sherwin:

Unfortunately, the answer is "No". The State is not meeting its obligations. We have submitted to the UNCRPD in relation to the list of issues process. The State has also submitted reports on its implementation of the CRPD. The State will acknowledge the areas that it is behind on and we would challenge the State to acknowledge more than that in the list of issues. Unfortunately, we are far behind where we need to be in terms of CRPD. However, the human rights strategy and the implementation of co-creation will start to take us a long way there and so we are very hopeful that, over the next number of years, we will get a lot further towards implementation of respectful CRPD. We would have to say that, at the moment, it is not there.
