Let the managers of NDIS then arbitrage that scheme to sort of say, okay, who's the most profound?

Who's going to get the most benefit out of this?

Let's work from the worst down.

And at some point,

you can't help everyone with a stubbed toe.

So at some point, okay, I'm not saying everyone on NDIS has got stubbed toes, but it was just a relative statement.
