Ableist hate speech regularly appears in online comment-enabled articles on social media, whenever disability-related topics enter public discourse. In 2022, Dylan Alcott's appointment as Australian of the Year as a person with disability was widely celebrated. Despite this progress, we identified new forms of politicised ableism in online responses to his disability advocacy in this role. This research considers readership responses to an April 2022 Facebook post by an Australian tabloid publication. The post editorialised Alcott's Twitter response to the then Australian Prime Minister's comments on feeling “blessed” to have children without disability. Enmeshed within the usual ableist imaginary—“why would any parent want to have a child with disability?”—were new justifications for ableism associated with political “wokeness.” We analyse this emerging contour of politicised ableism in contemporary Australia to consider the complex patterns of progress toward social justice for people with disability.

“我希望你没有被吵醒”：2022 年澳大利亚年度人物迪伦·奥尔科特 (Dylan Alcott) 为响应残疾倡导而提出的在线残疾歧视新政治轮廓

每当与残疾相关的话题进入公众讨论时，残疾仇恨言论就会经常出现在社交媒体上的在线评论文章中。2022 年，迪伦·奥尔科特 (Dylan Alcott) 被任命为澳大利亚年度残疾人士，受到广泛庆祝。尽管取得了这些进展，但我们在网上对他担任这一角色的残疾倡导的回应中发现了新形式的政治化残疾歧视。这项研究考虑了读者对一家澳大利亚小报出版物 2022 年 4 月 Facebook 帖子的反应。这篇文章社论是奥尔科特在推特上对时任澳大利亚总理关于拥有没有残疾的孩子感到“幸福”的言论的回应。与通常的体能主义想象——“为什么父母想要一个残疾孩子？”——交织在一起的是与政治“觉醒”相关的体能主义的新理由。我们分析了当代澳大利亚政治化残障主义的新轮廓，以考虑残疾人社会正义进步的复杂模式。
