Greg Jericho on last night’s budget, and the kicking it gives to people with disabilities:

And so now we have a government saying those with disabilities need to be kicked off the NDIS because gas companies need their profits…

Most people know someone on the NDIS, and few would think they are rorting it. The problem, of course, is that the NDIS is a Productivity Commission idea, which believes the private sector delivers better efficiency than the public sector.

It never does. It always leads to profiteering and worse service and yet when you are beholden to neo-liberalism, what need have you for reality?…

Because people know with such things what happens is the shonks rort the system and get away with it, while those with disabilities need to endure the cuts because ‘spending is out of control’.
