In this month's episode, we're talking about Canberra streets, transport and urban centres. Are they broken for people with disability? Can we fix it? Today we're talking about city planning and what it means to be able to get about your own city and the impacts of being excluded.

Guests: Gill King, Chair of Living Streets Canberra and Bill Gemmell, committee member of the Public Transport Association of Canberra.

For this Christmas Special we're offering the 12 assessments of Christmas on the places, spaces, cultural trends, politics and people who have managed to crawl to the end of 2025. And possibly some that didn't. It's our NDIS assessment themed yuletide trip back through a year most of you would probably rather forget. (Please note this episode was recorded prior to the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach).

This month we are looking at whether it's possible to turn back the tide of rising hate speech and disinformation about disability and other people in the community. Why is this an issue? What would it take to get this on the agenda? How and why is the ACT's I-Day program putting a spotlight on this? Our guests are Dr Ashlegih Haw and Ravi Krishnamurthy.
