Australia's disability sector, including A4, united over the government's poor approach to disability reform. They said: 

A coalition of 255 disability organisations and providers, including Australia’s peak disability representative bodies, have come together to call for urgent action from the Government and the new Minister for the NDIS, Amanda Rishworth, to protect the safety and wellbeing of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants amid rushed reforms.

The media release is here and the full statement here.

The NDIS has also made statements such as here that starts out claiming ...

we are genuinely committed to listening and responding to the voices of people with disability

But actions speak louder than words. A4 has yet to be included in genuine codesign; we have no experience of genuine "listening and responding" unless you count doing the opposite of what A4 suggests as "responding".
