Am I the only one sitting here wondering why the heavily flawed NDIA / NDIS payment systems failing to Pick up on and paying for $47,000 worth of ALCOHOL... has now somehow become a "participant" issue the rest of us are now being accused, surveillanced and punished for?? 🤨 Samantha Connor Byron Stol Skye Hayes Mark Sweeney Marie J.

No they don’t but go out into the community we can be confronted by (members of the public who do not have critical thinking skills and just believe everything they hear) with. “Oh you people on the NDIS get everything”. “Support Workers get paid a lot of money”. “So many people on the NDIS shouldn’t be on it; there’s nothing wrong with them, they are just rorting the system”. There is so much more I’ve been confronted with much to my horror. The impact this has on our social and community participation is immense. Obviously a wheelchair user so so much is assumed. Obviously I have no integrity and I get what ever I can out of the government. Bill Shorten should make a national apology in a press release for the affect his twisting of the truth has caused us a great deal of harm. Those lay people need to hear the truth of the amount of scrutiny we are under and that we actually do still pay quite a bit of money out of our own pockets for things relating to our disability. Disability tax! I’m going to pay for my own ramp and handrails soon for my safety and these are low cost items but I can’t continue to wait. Hopefully I can find a tradievthat does a good deal on cashies.
No, you're not the only one! The NDIS needs redesigning and it can be. The people in power just need to listen to those of us who have the insight and lived experience! The Original designers are just too Ablist and not interested in the disabled accessing the services they require!
Skye Hayes I thought you'd find this interesting.

3dBy the time you read enough about the NDIS and how it has been managed, some people need 47k of alcohol to cope with it.
