Sydney NDIS provider director accused of $3.6m fraud as cash seized at home
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-20/ndis-provider-director-allegedly-defrauded-millions-from-claims/106249802

Here's a thought: instead of demonising people with disabilities and referring to them as a "drain" on government expenditure, take a good look at NDIS providers. Check to see if they're doing their job to an acceptable standard. See if they're billing for work they don't do. Ask where the money is going.

This is a personal issue for me because it affects someone close to me, and I have seen the company-culture of some NDIS staff half-arsing it when they should be providing around-the-clock professional care. And then there's the constant sense of people with lifetime/chronic physical or mental conditions being tested in case there's there's a miraculous improvement or some other grounds to cut-back on the level of assistance.

Perhaps the real drain on the system is rorts by some NDIS providers?
