    Making people feel good is an actual outcome. In fact, it’s the only actual outcome.

    Who cares about quarterly profits, and budget savings, and a strong economy, and anything else, if it doesn’t make people feel good? Our laws and our economy should be designed with the intention of having a society of people who are happy. If the system isn’t designed to increase happiness, then everything it accomplishes is pointless.

      Everyone else who pays taxes towards a program like the NDIS is giving up a little of their own quality of life.

      Hookers shouldn’t be getting NDIS funds paid to them when there are still people going without and this is part of balancing the budget to ensure the NDIS is sustainable.

        Just tax billionaires more. It’s not that hard. Australia doesn’t have a budget problem, it has a not taxing billionaires problem. There’s no point trying to save money by taking shit away from disabled poor people. That’s pinching pennies while burning hundred bills.

          Every government that has tried to tax billionaires more has been voted out.

          No government is going to win an election when smear campaigns can truthfully say the government is paying for hookers.

          Welcome to reality.

            So you’re celebrating a pointless penny pinching law legislating against people who already had their need validated in a court of law… Because that’s what other people think?
