Your reminder that here in Australia, disabled people who cannot work and are on benefits are not able to legally marry or have a de-facto relationship without their partner/spouse's income being used to determine whether or not the disabled person is entitled to keep their benefits. So often, a disabled person's benefit is cut drastically, and sometimes completely, leaving them completely dependent on their spouse/live-in partner, and stripping them of what little independence they may have left.
"Equal rights for all" isn't true until a disabled person who is unable to work retains autonomy, and is not stripped of benefits if they choose to enter a legal marriage or defacto relationship.
