This is not about fixing rorts.
It's actually just scapegoating the disabled community because they think they're going to be an easy target.
See, this again is the media manipulation.
Great, let's fix that.
These cuts are not going to fix that.
You don't help disabled people by cutting their support.
You fund the commission that's meant to be looking at any dodgy providers there might be and there's not a single cent extra for that commission.
So if the government really did want to fix these so-called rorts, it could, but it's not.
So it's like, stop bullshitting us and...
You're just literally punishing people because you don't have the courage to take on the 1% to actually help people.
Fuck.
And I'm like, why do you want to be in government?
Get out of the way.
Lack of courage.
I think the courage has gotten less over the years.
I feel spineless everywhere we look.
It really does and we all deserve better.
So look, in all fairness, because I work a lot in this space and I care very deeply about it, the government in previous budgets has put a bit of money in.
It's not enough, but they have slowly increased the amount of funding that they've been giving to frontline services compared to, say, Scott Morrison.
So that's fine.
