Don't really follow Sky News & Murdoch Media, but this was interesting. Thanks Julia Gillard for the NDIS. Cheers J

With a 400% increase in appeals since July last year, something needs to be done by someone.

Breaking News : This seems to definitely be an improvement..Martin Hoffman broke trust with the disability community while CEO of the NDIS, and knowing that he had so much control over your choices was a source of fear for many. His resignation will bring so much relief to the disability community.
Under his leadership, plans were slashed and people were kicked off the NDIS, and thousands of people were forced to fight in courtrooms for the basic supports and services they need.
As if this wasn’t enough, he also led the NDIA’s attempt at forcing through "independent assessments,” causing widespread trauma and distress to thousands of disabled people.
Our community continually attempted to reach out and offer him the opportunity to work with us to #FixourNDIS. Our offers and solutions were too often met with arrogance and a reflexive dismissal of our lived experience as disabled people.
The next CEO must rebuild this trust. This process will take time and actions will speak louder than words. They must stop the cuts, give people their funding back, and call off the AAT cases that are causing so much stress and pain.
They must also demonstrate a commitment to working with disabled people and our organisations to authentically co-design solutions to #FixOurNDIS. And, ideally, this person will be a disabled person.

Like rats deserting a sinking ship. Those rats though, would most likely drown still, whereas as a public servant following a minister's policy, he's probably home free from any ICAC investigation.... Cheers 🐻

Obviously, a Hillsong gov plant to further torture the disabled. Let's hope those days are gone forever.

It's not like evangelicalism is huge in Australia or that this religion makes up a significant part of the Australian population. Yet the cabinet was full of them and PM was too. |

The master is at it again...... and yes, because I like a chat I fell for it too, and responded to genx accordingly. I did however realize, that as an admin I was not only adding to this behaviour, but was also condoning and further enabling it; so I deleted my off topic comment. Please keep this in mind when posting and don't be offended if your posts disappear. Cheers 🐻 Now what is it we're supposed to be talking about here? Ah yes, that's it:-
NDIS improvement if ALP win
