I agree with Senator Quinn that we should emphasise people's abilities, rather than concentrating on their disabilities. That is increasingly happening. A Short Title is needed for the Bill, which deals with people who have disabilities. The purpose of Senator Terry's amendment is covered in the Title, which contains adequate details concerning the scope of the Bill. A shorthand Title is perfectly adequate. I suspect that even if the amendment were to be accepted, people would continue to call it the Disability Bill, or the Disability Act once it becomes law.
