 In September 2019, Disability Royal Commission Action Group convenor, the amazing and incredible Craig Wallace, who is former President of peak national disability body People with Disability Australia, said that an increasing number of disability advocates would boycott the Royal Commission in protest over the failure to remove Ryan and Bennett.Wallace said that the two former public servants were 'in charge of and managed systems where people with disabilities have experienced abuse' and this made them unsuitable.Concerns were shared by ACT Government Minister Rachel Stephen-Smith, who said that the Federal Government did not ask the states and territories to endorse the commissioners during recent Disability Reform Council meetings.
