NDIS will be the killer, as admirable as it is.

Classic case of something where the underlying concept is admirable but the implementation has been carried out in a manner that's far too costly.

Too many middle managers outsourcing risk and too few competent hands on people calling the shots.

Too big an undertaking also, a lot of the disabilities being covered are very hard to quantify and assess, as are mental health issues.
For example Bill has had a lot of trouble with autism.

A future made in Australia ?

One wonders how serious they are.

Spirit of Tasmania $100 million spend on 'local content' to include ferry engines built in Finland​

Spirit ferries $100m of 'local content' includes Finnish-built engines

Finnish-built engines have joined the list of "local content" mandated in the fit-out of Tasmania's two new Spirit ferries.

@SirRumpole "local content" usual push to give a "feel good" to the story of a local build.

NDIS is going to send us broke. Deaf people do not need there house cleaned.
They also do not need to be spending money on hookers.
People are using it like a slave service. They have no idea how to distribute the money beyond throwing it at companies that will spend the lot. The actual care workers are paid a pittance and treated like slaves. The turnover rate is ridiculous.

They would have been better off having care packages for category and capping it right off based on severity.
New migrants need to be scanned before entry because there's a lot of inbreeding going on in certain cultures. Know a few people dealing with half the families.
