 It’s not enough to have government be the largest employer in Australia, stacked to the gills with useless leftist bureaucrats. No, they decided to create a whole new sector funded by taxpayers to give more money to those who don’t want to work (and by definition will democratically support more welfare), and people to pretend to look after them (now also incentivised to democratically support more largesse).

People defend the NDIS because genuinely disabled people need support and the parasites hide behind that public goodwill to absolutely rob Australians.

We now have the highest disability per capita in the world because this system is just one gigantic rort, but the economists magic up numbers to claim it’s good for the economy so politicians have the cover to let the gravy train keep rolling.
