They told us this @NDIS scheme would give us a voice.
Then they built a system that speaks for us,
records about us,
and listens through us.
But never once — to us.*

Get rid of the NDIS and renationalise disability care. The saved money (billions of it) can then be used to actually provide REAL #choiceandcontrol so people living with disability can get on with their lives. The NDIS is a farce - a funnel for money away from what its meant for!

I reported a physiotherapist/OT practice for two tier pricing ( 25%higher for NDIS participants)
A pro forma reply from Bill Shortens office.
So much for protecting the NDIS packages for participants. #rorting #pricegouging #NDIS #choiceandcontrol

Why is it okay for federal MPs to hire rent boys in the parliament house prayer room but not for PWD to use NDIS funding for sexual experiences they may otherwise not be able to enjoy? #Auspol #doublestandards #moraletrepreneurs #NDIS #choiceandcontrol #passingthetest

.@MarkayaHenders2 from @MyEDF on the importance of legal capacity: "Unfortunately, at the EU level, deprivation of legal capacity is still there. Physical, mental and emotional abuse follows. People need their right to legal capacity be recognised."
