Frances: Lauren, how have you found the first few days here at the UN
Lauren Henley: It’s been incredibly busy, but it’s been an absolute honour to be here to represent Australians with disability and talk about some of the key issues that are of importance to people back at home. It’s been a real privilege to work with such a well-coordinated and organised delegation. It’s been really fascinating just to hear everyone else’s personal stories, and everyone’s contributed to the overall work of the delegation in their own way.
