"this flagship disability scheme is changing from a service to a reluctant offer." https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politics/2021/04/10/robo-debt-public-servants-now-shaping-the-ndis/161797680011420">https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/poli...
should this all go through, we may up with a system more problematic than the "inequitable and broken" one this replaced
Australia has always loved a good residualised welfare policy, but the way algorithms are being weaponised within welfare state policy implementation is frankly truly evil.
Also, should this legislation pass - the next thing the Coalition government will come for is asset testing. We means test more than any country in the world. The NDIS is unlikely to stay immune, I fear.
this government has gone from & #39;let& #39;s hurt the poor& #39; through algorithms , to & #39;let& #39;s hurt the disabled& #39; through algorithms. They& #39;ve learnt nothing from the robodebt scheme, least of all that that won& #39;t get away with it.
People will fight this, as they did robodebt - which is and was very expensive for the government.
Its myopic, it& #39;s nasty and it goes against the responsibilities of governments to provide for and protect their citizens.
