Now, I'm not talking about the whole disability community or everyone in Australia with a disability.

I'm talking about certain advocates.

And they're the same people that went after me when I started talking about the NDIS.

And all we are asking for here is balance.

This gets right back to the way that our country is structured.

It can't be.

It's got to be individual, community, country, and then identity.

Because if not, then we are just run by this, you know, conga line of different advocacy groups and interest groups.

And you see them, the conga line turns up every time parliament happens.

And so there's no national direction.

And every time you try and do something to rebalance, no one wants to stop funding the NDIS.

We know it's going to cost tens of billions of dollars, and it should cost tens of billions of dollars.

But it can't be $56 billion, and it can't imbalance the two other sectors.

To the extent that it distorts the two other care economies.

Well, support.

Support.

The support economy.

You definitely, you need a generous public baseline of support, and we do have that in this country.

But we can't be overdone there.

But we've moved towards defining what level of success is acceptable.
