On to something else now. The government is bringing in a new law that will specify that people caring for disabled relatives are not Crown employees. The government's doing this because the Supreme Court found in December that two parents who care full-time for their disabled kids are employed by the Crown. The new bill also states that families are responsible for their disabled relatives in the first instance. It's not the state's responsibility. Jane Carrigan is a disability advocate and with us.
