NDIS a victim of familiar scare tactics – while untouchables roll on We rarely speak about how the NDIS became a catch-all because we don’t have enough social services and supports to help people who need it.

Listening to the gas executives yesterday while also listening to the health minister explain why we just can't afford to give support to people who need it, was just one of those WTF are we doing moments. (Plus an overheard convo that stuck in my mind) www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/health/...

Labor kicking more than 160,000 disabled Australians off the NDIS is absolutely shameful.

Vulnerable people should not have to pay the price for a system left open to exploitation by this government.

Just putting on the record, if it was not clear already, that I would not piss on Minister Mark Butler to put a fire out. He is a gaslighting sociopath and is unfit to be minister or a member of parliament.

Wonder why the NDIS’s social licence is in the gutter? Could it be marketing advice given to Labor by Redbridge for selling cuts along with RW politics and media’s years long campaign to demonise disabled people. It’s in the gutter Mark Butler, because you’re the c*nt that helped kick it there.

Disability community surprised by scale of planned NDIS cuts NDIS Minister Mark Butler has defended the government's latest cost-cutting changes to the scheme in an interview with the ABC, amid an avalanche of participant concern.

"These supports are not optional extras. They are often what make it possible for people to leave the house, build relationships, participate in community life, and live an ordinary life," he said.

"Cutting them back will deepen the social isolation we are already experiencing."

I love that they say things like 'people will be moved to services outside NDIS' as though there are actually services there for those people to access.

Our system of care is being diminished, while Labor wastes billions on AUKUS and let the 1% opt out of paying their fair share.

The Greens will not support Labor trying to balance the budget off the back of disabled people.

Should have listened to my gut. Always knew you were a jerk.

$12b to private schools
$30,000 a minute for planet killing #FossilFuels
$205b to wealthy property owners
$55.7b on weapons

But cannot afford to safely fund people with a disability on the #NDIS
And won’t raise people out of poverty

Watching Sky News and the hate being dumped on the NDIS by Laura Jayes and Jane Hume is gross AF.

They only want "profoundly disabled" on the NDIS. And they really want to be the ones who decide who that is.

If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄
“They are playing us for fools.” 🔥
Nationals’ Susan McDonald has no rebuttal & scrambles to change the subject. #auspol

Headline from the AFR "Time to end welfare for the wealthy, says big business"

You mean the superannuation tax breaks? No?
You mean the CGT discount? No?
You mean the fossil fuel subsidies? No?
You mean the free gas for multinationals? No?
You mean the failure of the PRRT? No?
You mean the tax dodging trusts? No?
You mean the lack of a wealth tax? No?

No you mean the NDIS FFS

Pop-psychology wrong diagnosis for mental health and the NDIS To imply that people with psychosocial disability are merely the “worried well” and don’t have a true disability is discriminatory and unfair.

Great article by Allan Fels on Psychosocial Disability and the #NDIS, rebutting Josh Szeps’ piece.

Although I disagree with him saying "The psychosocial disability pathway recommended by the NDIS review should be adopted and implemented", given there were issues with it. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Lots of thoughts on that #FourCorners episode. Think I'll just zip my lips.

Good to know Labor has plenty of money in the budget for war mongering, not so much on social services like the #NDIS #abc730

Gotta love the eugenics by balance sheet approach of the Labor Government #NDIS

Farmers burning off cropland near my small town. Smoke everywhere with an awful stink. So annoying as we've had days and nights of this happening recently. Over it.

In the 1940s, tent cities and ‘shanty’ settlements appeared across Australia, as families struggled to find homes. The government acted then – and needs to act now.

Butler has repeatedly thrown people with psychosocial disability under the bus since Labor was last in government back in 2011, when he slashed Better Access Medicare Psychology sessions and slashed them again upon returning to government. Expect the worse.

Image of Minister Mark Butler at the National Press Club dated 20/08/2025. Text says: "National cabinet decided that when we think about foundational supports they wanted us to do work first of all on kids under the age of nine and then come to that second big cohort of adults with psychosocial disability".

Feeling more and more anxious about NDIS Minister Mark Butler's National Press Club address on Wednesday, given what he said at the NPC previously about People with Psychosocial Disability being next on the #NDIS chopping block.

Gas corporations will make up to $107 billion in Australian exports this year thanks to Trump’s new war, while paying a lower rate of tax than a nurse.

Women and children are being killed at alarming rates and victim-survivors are still being failed.

Enough is enough.

I hadn't forgiven him for basically defending Alan Jones and now this rubbish.

Utterly disgusted with Josh Szeps. What an awful POS he has turned into. Totally clueless. Ignorant F**ker.

Just yesterday Labor bet everything in defence on binding us to the US. Trump didn’t even notice, let alone care, and has come out and attacked Australia anyhow. This is not a relationship of friends or allies, we are being held hostage and need to escape.
