The problem with the NDIS isn't the fraud.

It's the fact that it exists. The fraud just makes it worse.

NDIS is using taxpayer dollars to pay healthy people to do unproductive work for unhealthy people who are rewarded for doing LESS rather than more to help themselves.

It's a productivity destroying triple whammy.

And no, before you accuse me of being heartless and uncaring, that's not true at all.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: Misplaced welfare HURTS us all, it doesn't help.

Consider: Human living standards are dictated by our productivity, whether you like it or not. That means that humans, on average, can only consume as much as we produce, on average.

THEREFORE anything which unnecessarily reduces productivity ALSO reduces quality of life!

Taking money from productive people, to divert other productive people into unproductive work, done in large part for people who COULD do more to help themselves, but now don't because the NDIS REWARDS them for 'needing' more... means that we're stripping Australia of productive work which would make ALL our lives better.

So the people committing NDIS fraud are not a CAUSE of NDIS waste, they're just a different kind.

Unpopular opinion? Sure. But it's the truth.

Charity work is wonderful, and no one who truly NEEDS help should be left without it, but charity should be done with donated time, not paid time, and it certainly shouldn't be done with productive tax money put to unproductive use.
