NDIS has been a Huge Positive in my Life but now I am hoping I can stay on it now.

Hate to know how I go without Support that I need

You can't believe anything Shorten says.

I don't know how they could rip 4.6 billion in funding out of it given everyone has just rolled over their plans or got an increase this year!

There is Eddie. There are facts. They are never both in the same place.

Then there is Bill Shorten

NDIS funding in 19/20 was 17.6 billion, in 20/21 the budget is 21.7 billion.

Interesting 4.6 billion cut, or will they use the same creative accounting that claims the ABC budget is cut when it keeps increasing?

And yes they have, its because the funds weren't spent they claim its the government cutting funding, not people just not using their funding!

All I know is anyone I know, including me, who was on an NDIS plan last year was offered the exact same plan this year due to Covid making things difficult. If people wanted more they were able to go for it as usual or just take the same funding again.

Only thing that bugged me was my new plan rolled over before I'd finished spending last years money and some of it was lost Sad

And in the very next post he tells an outrageous lie denying the coalition's massive and repeated cuts to the ABC.

Just ignore that rubbish. There is more truth in a One Nation press release.

Any danger of some facts here?

DTM relies on the NDIS and is justifiably nervous, Shorten is in leadership challenger mode and could generally be trusted as as far as you could spit a 18kg kettlebell.


Any facts would be nice

I know, if it doesn't support your view it's not facts.

ABC funding goes up each year but doesn't go up enough so they use 'real funding' to say it's being cut.

Government provides funding for NDIS, participants don't spend it all, ALP says the government cut the funding to NDIS

But they do it every time something comes under budget, that's a disaster to the left, just look at Victoria where every Government project goes billions over budget, is delivered years late and it's celebrated.

As I said, the actual funding for NDIS is going up, the 4.6 billion relates to the amount that was unspent in a recent financial year, not a cut but participants not spending all their funding. The figures in my earlier post are all correct, despite Tannins objections.

I personally didn't spend over $10,000 worth of funding last year! 2/3 of that was covered by a completely different government funding program and the rest is stuff I still don't know what to use it on!!!

Theorically, a lot of recipients may have surpluses this year because of the lockdowns, for example, the people who have allowances towards travel and carers to go out and about.

That does not mean the government is cutting costs, they just need to use less money to top up peoples funding this year.

NDIS has a lot of issues. There are providers ripping it off big time and Federal Government is incompetent in its management of this.

I deal with over paid providers who are often out of their league but receiving huge amounts which is simply waste.

My wife’s business deals with NDIS regularly and while NDIS does some good in some areas they are extremely wasteful ( and I’m understating the waste by the Federal Government)

It’s part of this Government’s blind ideological obsession of privatizatising services and service delivery. We are talking huge millions. Ordinarily this would be fodder for the Murdoch press but is simply ignored.

Those who deal with it as professional staff know what a clusterf*ck a lot of the process and at times the delivery is with respect to NDIS

I am more worried about the Interdependent Reviews then the Actual Cuts

I am worried that we’re on the verge of a new round of austerity once the pandemic is done and dusted. Something to keep tabs on, certainly with the current lot in power.
