The problem is not that people are getting support, the issue is we have to balance that with many priorities, including numurous other issues afflicting society.
My issue with the autism thing, if I speak frankly, is my understanding that there is a severity scale. The most severe is very disabled and lots of care is needed. The other end of the scale however far less.
My suspicion is that we have lots of middle class families getting packages for children on the borderline of needing funding, that otherwise they'd just need to pay for as parents in days gone by, or get much more limited funding for from medicare.
If maybe we tighten up on that and all the fraud then priorities like defence, the pension, drug and alcohol treatment, maybe that is gets a better look? Or maybe we can even avoid the inevitable 5% NDIS levy on income?
