This amount represented roughly a quarter of the station's operating budget. Disability Minister Chris Bourke declined to promise funding from ACT resources, but said he would make enquiries of the Federal Minister for Disability. Leading the effort to publicise this funding shortfall were: President, Lorraine Litster; Vice President, and People With Disabilities ACT president, Robert Altamore; and volunteer broadcaster and ACT Legislative Assembly member, Vicki Dunne MLA. Litster pointed out that, of the $22 billion/year scheme, only $132 million has been set aside for services including the Radio Print Handicapped Network. The National Disability Insurance Authority (NDIA) has said it will be considering the matter.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-11/disability-radio-station-may-cut-services-after-funding-decision/7157868 Disability station Radio 1RPH 'left in the lurch' amid NDIS funding changes James Fettes Adrienne Francis ABC News Online 11 February 2016 23 April 2019http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/radio-station-for-printhandicapped-to-lose-out-under-ndis-president-20160210-gmq49q.html Radio station for print-handicapped to lose out under NDIS: president Katie Burgess Sydney Morning Herald 10 February 2016 23 April 2019 See also List of radio stations in Australia Radio Print Handicapped Network References External links Radio 1RPH RPH Australia Network Category:Radio stations in Canberra Category:Radio reading services of Australia Category:Radio stations established in 1992
