Australian Greens pay tribute to Stella Young

Stella Young was a wonderful Australian. She was an outstanding writer, comedian, activist and came to prominence as a passionate disability advocate.
 
She provided advocacy, support and insight that has greatly helped people with disability, their families, friends and the community.
 
Stella's work is a credit to her strength and intelligence. The Ramp Up website remains an unmatched resource in Australian media.
 
Stella's recent writing on issues such as abuse of people with disability, dying with dignity and employment discrimination shows her resolve to deal with the most important issues facing our society.
 
The Australian Greens offer our deepest sympathy to Stella's family and friends.
