#1811 Saturday 19 May

This afternoon I was resting.... I've got an eye problem.... and Kaylia walks past.....  "Get up Dad" she says!  She had decided that she wanted us to go for a drive.... so obviously "Dad" wasn't allowed to be resting!

The current NDIS kerfuffles are disturbing.  It is seems apparent that the scheme did not anticipate the number of people in the community who are living with disability.  In the time pre NDIS, people just kept quiet and endured..... now that there is help available, people are raising their hands to request the help!  The previous estimates seem to have been based on the numbers actually in "the system".... and suddenly there are many more. ..... and the method being used to cope with the extra people is to make it harder to claim!  People are being told "You're not considered to be disabled any more. Bye!"
