NDIS Minister Bill Shorten has promised to ban funding sex work services for people with disability under the national disability insurance scheme.

However, the promise has been met with backlash from advocates saying that sexual intimacy is a human right with the the federal court deeming the funding reasonable and necessary just four years ago.

Bension Siebert is joined by Oliver Morton-Evans, who has cerebral palsy and has himself used paid sex work to help him experience sexual intimacy, to explain why sex work services are important for people under the NDIS, and why his work with Touching Base is so important.

Headlines:

New report shows 1 in 5 Aussies have committed sexual violence

Distressing CCTV footage of police repeatedly striking an Indigenous teenager has been revealed

Jillian Segel AO appointed to combat antisemitism
