Shorten shortening the NDIS list?

When people choose to take drugs, their choice and i have been known to partake occasionally and only occasionally and am speaking from experience here. Through their bad choices and an unwillingness to work lhas ead straight to depression. Through these choices it has enabled a lot of people, very capable people before these lifestyle choices they made transfer from a modest jobsearh allowance(dole) into a fully funded and cared for NDIS patient with a doubling of funds and a transfer to a pension. How the truck this is allowed to happen or in most cases is facilitated is a disgrace and a tick for the lifestyle choices made. Many multiples of people taken this route in a very small area / block i have an interest in. Depression is rife there and on the increase from the day attended. Voilence has increased with the rise in drug taking here and as a good person or family have moved out they have either been replaced with either persons just out of incarceration or persons with terrible drug habbits on the NDIS. It is depressing to see these choices people are making, it is affecting others and the depression seems to be spreading , capturing anyone that has enough hours in the day to just sit around and hang out with people that on payday / fortnightly will buy drugs well before any food or or hygienie supplies will go into the house. Quiet often these necessities wont enter one of these fully funded depressed NDIS patients house until someone who has a job there decides to help them out. Only problem is these employed persons are slowly being replaced with more recidivists, and NDIS patients. This was going to be the saviour, but wherever a pit of money is, a list will always have to be Shortened Im not so sure Bill will be able to get that list Shortened enough where drug addicts and bad choices and simple ppl not owning their own shit are able to access funding of a National Disability Insurance Scheme after lifestyle choices made. A shipload of depression is very real, but a product of lifestyle choices and an attitude of self entitlement. Stop this support of people that would rather have drugs alcahol and cigarettes paid for by a scheme set up to help our most vulnerable but overtaken by lifestyle people. Fully funded and supported by a government straight into depression. Our politicians are not the answer, they are and have created the problem once again.
By mid next year there will be more depressed people on earth than happy people. I hope it doesnt spread like i have seen in this very small but well funded area that i have had an interest in for just over a year.
Take care and look for the positives in people and try to curb the ever increasing depressed mental health world we now live in.

violence has always been around us all mate... much more associated with alcohol than other drugs, but the illegality of other drugs makes from criminality... see whats been happening with tobacco lately? police say they can only find small proportion of illegally imported tobacco. and so the gang violence to control the illegal tobacco market, lucrative and easy to access with a struggling market ready to plunder, will continue to thrive.

if your clients are already on the disability benefits, they must logically be using other drugs to manage their disability, not on NDIS because of their drug use.
