Over 500 attendees expected Disability Minister Bill Shorten to be making the keynote speech at an NDIS conference in Canberra but he says he told organisers weeks ago he wouldn't be there.
Organisers accused of falsely promoting Bill Shorten's attendance at NDIS conference The politician told organisers by email on March 7 to "update your marketing materials" to ensure "prospective attendees are accurately informed".
Marie Sabbagh from Assist Ability Australia, said the minister's appearance was why she'd bought the "very expensive tickets to this event". "We weren't made aware until this morning that Bill Shorten wasn't going to be here," she told 9News. Disability providers, participants and advocates had travelled from across the country attracted by the opportunity to hear from and speak to the minister.
