Comments by "" (@pwillis1589) on "Alan Jones assesses one of the 'concerning stories' to arise from federal budget" video.

My daughter to the best of her ability helps out in the garden of her home, but which one of her four wheel chair bound housemates are you going to force to push the mover around her lawn. If you had just thought for a millisecond about your comment you would have realised just what an ignorant statement you came up with. The next time I deploy operationally in defence of this country because of the NDIS I won't waste an minute thinking of your or your family.

Sorry are you attempting to imply a correlation between the services for my intellectually disabled daughter and a lizard that has lost its habitat in the bushfires last summer? If so you may just want to take the foot out of your arse think for about 5 minutes do some reading and then attempt to join the real world. Read up on sociopaths on Wikipedia. Yes a bit harsh but I am happy for you to sit with my daughter for 36 hours in A&E after a seizure

I'll tell that to my epileptic intellectually disabled daughter the next time she is on the toilet and needs a carer to help clean her up or better still the carers who cook her dinner, take her to the hospital, assist her with her craft work, dress her of a morning, administer her medication. I could go on for hours but I think I have made my point. Think before you put your foot up your arse!

@louminarty Well as I understand it, the gardening expenses at my daughters shared house are shared around by her housemates. Her contribution comes out her fabulously huge disability pension which she is saving purchase a Bentley for her sardonic father.

@JohnnyD77x Well the last time I deployed overseas on operations I made a commitment to every Australian, but next time in your case maybe not. Read my other replies to the comments and then maybe you will understand the NDIS is the greatest piece of social infrastructure this country has put in place since Medicare. I can only hope you never have an epileptic intellectually disabled daughter who wishes as normal a life as possible.

@matthewbeale8570 At no point in this discourse have you shown even the remotest sense of empathy, other than to the effect an action may have on your hip pocket. That's OK that is your priority. However the NDIS has allowed my wife to work full time and pay tax. My daughter a level of independence to as normal as possible and It has allowed me to deploy operationally and for what it's worth defend your ability to pocket every cent your your entitled to. Are you really sure this is about me me me. I get a sense it is about you you you.

Good for you. Now add a moderate intellectual disability and epilepsy and a desire to live independently, now think how clever your comment is as my daughter lays on the floor grasping for her medication. Second thoughts??

@strategicviewpoint6672 Completely acknowledge that any system is open to corruption, and all these instances you link to show that the regulatory bodies and the AFP are catching criminals and I'm sure there are more out there to be caught. You implied the entire system was faulty and that is just factually wrong. In the NDIS the system provides care and those who abuse it go to gaol. What is your plan?

@mrbillhilly343 Your point is valid, however any system is open to corruption, nothing is perfect. My epileptic intellectually disabled daughter wouldn't even have an understanding of how to game the system, so your solution is what? Let her to her own devices? Do you understand how completely sociopathic that come s across as. The NDIS has guidelines and regulatory authorities, as well the AFP investigate fraud and If you aware of current affairs recently made some arrests. So what really is the problem?

@mrbillhilly343 Great "hate mongs" I assume you understand the contempt in the use of the word "great". A deletion in the the first chromosome or more commonly none as 1p36 deletion syndrome is not whatever you think or describe. As I have replied to other ill informed comments on this video, comment is fine and expected but come from a place of education and knowledge.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Read my comment and other replies to the uninformed comments and then have a think, do some research and come back with a reply that is even the most minimalist more sensible than this one.

@terrymoore861 Whoa man get on topic. Nice rant but I was commenting on your comment on Alan's comment about the NDIS. Comment is fine and good but it has to backed by facts and Alan's comments on the NDIS were just plain wrong and to be honest quite untruthful perhaps even deliberately deceitful in my opinion, something I thought you might like to be made aware of. Just looking out for you.

@terrymoore861 Once again you are completely missing the point. You commented on Alan Jones talking the truth on the NDIS. I demonstrated that this is clearly wrong. He was not telling the truth in my opinion. I make no comment on other topics he has spoken about. Claiming 50000 medics signed a document I have no issue with and don't really care. Alan Jones doesn't make this assertion in the video clip. You need to analyse the media more closely and read a little bit more widely. Just trying to help you out.

Any system is open to corruption. The NDIS has a regulator and they conduct audits of providers. The AFP investigates cases of fraud and people have been arrested for wrong doing. Most clients have some access to services they never had. A lot and I don't have the stats at hand are non for profits. I agree with you privatisation of the sector had some problems, but I have seen far more positives. For instance my daughter was on a waiting list for 10 years for supported accommodation under the public system. Within 12 months of receiving a NDIS she was in her own home living independently under a private provider. The system is not perfect but it does work quite well.

So Alan starts off with a total lack of information, but then somehow manages to come around and show a certain level level of understanding about disability. So Alan get this straight before you go off on a idiotic rant, a Liberal government would never even of thought of creating a NDIS. It was something that was thrown around in a vague notion during the Whitlam years and then resurrected with some substance in Rudds 2020 vision conference. John DelaBosca and Bill Shorten then put some meat on it and to her credit in minority government Gillard passed it into law. I can only assume you lack this understanding and are not being deliberately misleading, but it was fully funded from the beginning. There was in increase to the Medicare levy, an agreed contribution from individual state governments and then a federal government contribution. The NDIS has allowed my wife to return to full time work and hence pay tax, it allowed me to deploy operationally in defence of this country and most importantly provided my disabled daughter a level of care and independence that has significantly improved the well being her life and that of my entire family. You might have thought you were being clever having a cheap shot at Julia Gillard, nope you just came across as ignorant. Finally to all the people who will comment on this comment the NDIS is as it is in the title an insurance scheme it is not charity or a social welfare payment, hence the comments previous about the cost just goes to show the level of stupidity out there in the general public!!!!!

@matthewbeale8570 Would that be the tax payer who provides your roads, schools, hospitals, police, Defence force etc etc. I can only assume you have never accessed the Medicare system. Are you suggesting that there be no public housing, health, education? No social welfare support of any kind? Matt Powney made a thoughtless comment and I called him out on it. My point was some disabled people really do need carers and I yeah I delivered it with a wollop. I can only assume your parents are still supporting you, at what stage do you think parents should be no longer responsible for their children?

@matthewbeale8570 I appreciate your full on commitment to a libertarian worldview (correct if I am wrong) However over a period of tens of thousands of years we have evolved as a social species and this is eveident in the observation of advanced western democracies and their political theory that currently dominates. I'll point to the US, UK, France, Sweden, Canada, and here in Oz as examples. All these countries have to certain degrees advanced social welfare schemes for those less fortunate, because we care about each other. Not sure what I'm projecting other than an empathy towards our fellow humans. Don't you feel some responsibility the society around you?

I audit every cent spent by my daughters non for profit provider and what you have said is non sensical. Yes any scheme is open to corruption and that is why the NDIS has its own regulators and the AFP investigates fraud. Next time comment with some substance and thought.
