In 1985, amidst a backdrop of limited expectations for people who are blind or have low vision, PENI (People for Equality Not Institutionalisation) was formed. Frustrated by the lack of support from the agencies that were designed to help them and community attitudes, the group sought to increase representation at agencies management, employment opportunities, accessible information, participation in decisions and change perception of how they should live their lives. In these recordings, Ramona Mandy reads the PENI Newsletter number 3 and a radio show covers the formation of PENI and the reaction of RVIB management and the BWU (Blind Workers Union) to this. The final recording is a telephone conversation between Jeff Kennett and Andrew Peacock, which has been transcribed elsewhere and does not appear to relate to anything related to PENI.1 CD with 3 sound filespeni, ramona mandy, david blyth, martin stewart, debbie antonovich, bruce upton, stephanie mackie, steven howell, terry spencer, australian council for the advancement of blind people, royal victorian institute for the blind, blind workers association, blind workers union, employment, national federation of blind citizens, jeff kennett, andrew peacock
