Treasurer Scott Morrison's announcement of an NDIS review is a time to be vigilant. The ABC's news article states that the review has been brought forward which from my point of view is a Liberal Party tactic to tiptoe away from the NDIS commitment.
It has been known for a long time that disability supports have been drastically underfunded and resourced.
I know the Liberal Party has always put the country's bottom line ahead of people who truly need it.
No system or scheme of funding is going to be perfect but to consider changes to the NDIS so early will undermine the insurance of people with disabilities and their families.
It is time our government stops taking money away from the foundations that underpin our society.
Why can't we spend less on multi million dollar upgrades to sporting events and direct that money where it will do the most good?
For several years I have written blog posts, articles, and submission to previous productivity commissions. When is people with disabilities voice going to be heard once and for all?
I dread the recommendations of the position paper because it may tell the government about the viability and monetary costs of the scheme but it cannot show the government the physical and emotional costs of people with disabilities.
So no matter how Scott Morrison disguises his plan to back away from the NDIS as a mandatory review I write this blog as a mayday for the NDIS.
