Don't you fret N...999. The ALP has drafted national hero, cherished icon Bill Shorten to fix his dog's breakfast.
With a return to Labor government, it’s time for an NDIS ‘reset’ Labor’s election win sees a return of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to the control of the party that first passed legislation for it. Bill Shorten’s appointment as NDIS Minister makes him responsible for the scheme he championed and helped establish.
Many in the disability community feel the NDIS has moved a long way from its initial design and recent proposals have created a rift between the scheme and those it is supposed to serve.
I'm sure I speak for all Australians when I wish Mr Shorten luck fixing his mess. However, I am alarmed that no overseas junket fact-finding-mission is planned before Mr Shorten applies himself to the onerous task of fixing his dog's breakfast. Surely a visit to 15 countries would provide a positive input. He might even meet our PM in his travels.
