I'm not sure what is more abhorrent, a reflection on how hard life must be with a child with special needs or using your child with special needs as a political prop to further your career.

I consider myself fortunate, and blessed, to have had, in medical terms, children who have not required special care. As callous as this next comment might seem, and I am sure people will get bent out of shape over it, parents, if given the choice would rather their kids were never sick or never had a life long infliction.

And before you all arc up, that is not saying that any child with special needs doesn't deserve all the care and love in world quite the opposite. It is an unfortunate fact of life that some families face challenges with children and we as a society need to support them. However, I will hasten to add that instead of attacking Scott Morrison, who was being quite genuine, maybe you should direct your energies towards those who rort the NDIS taking away funding where it is really needed, If you think that is not going then you are being disingenuous and delusional and, moreover, you have a complete lack of understanding of human nature.
