"Surely then the NDIS is worthy of our support if it
makes such an impact and difference to people's lives?"

Yes it is worthy of our support.

But that doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to the spectacular waste that the current processes allow. Remember, every dollar rorted is a dollar less in the hands of the disabled. So support the scheme by trying to make it less of a cash-cow for the unscrupulous.

Hopefully, one day, we'll find a government that does that. Neither the last nor this government are capable of such a thing because they continue to allow the public service to be the conduits for the funds

I'm sure it would operate better out of government hands; or at least away from the supervision of a government minister who has never run a business in his life. Government is the problem.

Why can't the Federal government work together with
states and territories to get the best results for
disabled people. Surely they have enough experienced
staff between them to advise how to achieve the best
results, and get not only the best value for money,
but the best outcomes for the disabled.

Foxy,
They rather obviously don't !

Yes it's a good cause, but not if you spend 40 billion and get about half that amount in benefit. And don't forget that the wastage results in other government services being cut.

It's a mess.

It's a mess.
Fester,
Indeed yet we still have so many opposing a NMNS to teach responsibility to better common mentality !
