Tbh I think this gets to the crux of so much of the media and general discourse around NDIS. People want to be able to decide 'who counts' as disabled and if they don't 'look' disabled then they must be lying and committing fraud. It's the 'how dare anyone receive something I don't' mindset

Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately
