6 and ˝ Years on a Dunghill:
Life in Specialist Disability Accommodation
Peter Gibilisco’s aim in this book is to affirm vital principles that must
be better understood and implemented if the National Disability Insurance
Scheme (NDIS) is going to be of benefit and fulfill its mandate; so that
care doesn't become careless. He wants to encourage people to keep on
pushing the case for disability justice! His book is aimed at those
providing a service to people with disabilities with high support needs. He
wants to address all who are involved in disability care: professionals,
social workers and especially those managing facilities that look after
communities and groups of people. Peter is giving himself a wide focus in
this book, and his aim is not to win a fight, but to present a case.
My new book 6 and a ˝ Years on a Dunghill: Life in Specialist Disability
Accommodation is now released.

Reviewer's comments:
My good friend Susan Prior has written a thoughtful book review for my book.
It is as follows:
This book is about someone with amazing perseverance and intellect. The
author dispassionately scrutinises the situation in which he finds himself.
In this book you feel his frustration and pain as he critically discusses
being disenfranchised by the system that is meant to care for our disabled
citizens. This book gives an insight into the true grit of the author and
his selfless willingness to take up the fight for the benefit of others who
find themselves without a voice.
I can recommend this book to anyone with an interest in our disability care
sector. You will be reconsidering how society treats our disabled citizens
once you have read it.
Thank you, Susan!
