iron ore exports are 3.3% of GDP, coal 3.5 and gas $93 billion out of a $2.2 trillion economy. The idea that out economy depends on these three commodities is so ridiculously stupid and so far from the actual facts I have no idea why you would state such an obvious and demonstrably falsifiable comment.

@actualfacts1055 if you had any understanding of the NDIS you would know that minor disability does in fact reduce significantly the funding package a client receives. It is factually incorrect to describe one state invading another as a civil war. In fact it is factually wrong by any standard or measure and in my opinion only quite stupid.

@strategicviewpoint6672 Absolute crap. Yes there is a criminal element that is taking advantage of disabled people, and the current government has committed to repair inefficient practices the previous LNP had allowed through a series of now known to be compromised ministers. Some individuals under state run scheme were using 8 or 9 different funding sources. Under the NDIS it is one funding source and the individuals have choice. You haven't a clue what you are talking about. You have seen a news report or some RWNJ sky commentator and taken their word as gospel.

@actualfacts1055 You are correct in that recruiting and maintaining disability support workers is problematic. Denying certain disabled people services is not the answer to a quality workforce in the disabled sector. Better pay and conditions, training, recognition of their value to society are. Yes I have no issue with your description of the conflict in certain regions of Ukraine. However would their have been any issue if Ukraine had no relinquished it’s nuclear weapons? I wasn’t being pedantic about wording. Using the word civil to describe the war in Ukraine is mischievous.

@actualfacts1055 Only that's not what I said. I didn't suggest or say they weren't, only that as a percentage we as a country don't depend on them individually. Meat, grain, and other agricultural products, as well as other mined commodities such as copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, and bauxite. There is also education which is 25 billion in export dollars. In fact we could stop exporting gas and oil tomorrow and still have a trade surplus. Your original comment was just factually incorrect and easily disproved. It was fallacious simplification of the Australian economy.

@actualfacts1055 Well you did in your original comment. You cited three commodities that you stated pay our way. If you had of said exports pay our way you would never of heard from me. But your facts were actually wrong.
