Nicholas Lapsley: Accessible travel, inclusive exam practises, and the disability royal commission

Nas Campanella is the National Disability Affairs Reporter at the ABC and one of the most recognisable disabled voices in Australian media. In this episode, she reflects on the responsibility of reporting on disability in Australia and the issues shaping the lives of disabled people today, from the NDIS to employment and education.

We also talk about representation in journalism, living with blindness and Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy, and navigating motherhood as a disabled woman.

This episode marks the final conversation of season five of The I Can’t Stand Podcast. Season six will return later in 2026.

Caroline Bowditch is a performance artist and arts leader who has spent more than two decades shaping disabled culture in Australia and the UK. A recipient of the Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship for 2025 to 2026, she continues to influence how disability is understood in dance and the wider arts sector.

We explore her pivotal work Falling in Love with Frida, and how reclaiming Frida Kahlo through a disabled lens transformed her artistic voice. Caroline also shares her move from freelance performer to leading Arts Access Victoria, why disabled people need to be inside institutions to create real change, and what disabled dance looks and feels like in practice.
