There seems to be a very cruel and dis-compassionate feeling between both
sides of the parliaments of this polity. While they may claim that their
fundamental approach may be bipartisan, when we look at what they say in
terms of a cost-benefit analysis we will see that this could not be further
from the truth.
In addition to being data driven the insurance scheme approach also makes
provision for investment in research. Accident compensation schemes have
been extensively researched. Insurance companies have been important sources
of social change since such schemes give the wider community the opportunity
to pool their money towards the longer-term amelioration of the lifestyle of
people with disabilities. And so, this will ultimately lead to greater
social outcomes and it is also hoped that this too will include a reduction
in attitudes based on stereotypes.
Is it this that we can say is a bipartisan approach among those making vital
legislation for the NDIS? We do hope so.
