Eyebrows have been raised across Western Australia following an unusual social media post from one of the state's largest disability service providers, Ability WA, which appeared to take a direct jab at the fan base of a prominent AFL team.
Social Media Post Sparks Community Discussion
The post, which remains live on the organisation's official Facebook page, features an image with the bold text: "No Collingwood supporters allowed", followed by a small decorative star. This visual was accompanied by a caption that read: "Ability WA can help you explore living options including disability accommodation all across the Perth metropolitan area."
Organisational Background and Current Silence
Ability WA is a well-established not-for-profit disability service provider that has been supporting West Australian families for more than seven decades. The organisation offers a comprehensive range of services and supports to clients and their families, focusing on enhancing quality of life and accessibility.
Despite the growing attention and questions from the public, Ability WA has declined to comment on the unusual social media activity. The post was not only visible on their primary Facebook page but was also shared within a community National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) group, amplifying its reach and impact.
Community Reaction and Broader Implications
The unusual nature of the post has sparked significant discussion within both disability support circles and AFL fan communities. Many are questioning the appropriateness of such a message from a major service provider, while others are curious about the intent behind the lighthearted or potentially exclusionary statement.
As one of WA's leading disability organisations, Ability WA's social media presence typically focuses on service information, community engagement, and support resources. This departure from their usual content has left many observers puzzled about the strategic or humorous intent behind the Collingwood-related declaration.
