After months of back and forth finally got to speak to a lawyer just to find out that we literally don't have any rights in community housing. I then had to break the news to all the other tenants. It's too fucking much. Why is the world so evil I'm going to crash out

All this to say that pushing responsibility back onto state government and council run programs is an absolute crock of shit. They ALREADY can't meet demands and you want to make it 10x worse? Cool plan guys.
Something I'd like people to keep in mind with all these NDIS changes. 2 of my older neighbours who were receiving help through local council support programs were this year told IN FEBRUARY that the council had already exhausted its budget for the entirety of 2026. In February.

Both of these ppl were then left completely without support this year which has resulted in an uptick in hospitalization for both of them. They both have no informal supports, Disability pensioners. Both very much needing support. As a community we have been trying to help them.

For anyone who is doing it tough right now. At this link you can find your local services offering food. It even gives you a list of places serving freshly cooked meals near you free of charge and what times they serve them. Just put in your postcode.

NDIS Minister Mark Butler saying it was designed to support 410,000 people when there are 5.5 million disabled people in Australia...

I’m really struggling with the ableism regarding NDIS. I was a clinical nurse consultant for 30 years, I’ve paid my taxes. I have multiple sclerosis, it took me a long time to swallow my pride and apply for help.
The hate on here makes me feel worthless.
I finally did something I've been contemplating for well over a year and made a WordPress where I can post my longform opinions.
If you miss my twitter rants, this is for you! First piece on the new NDIS cuts went out today and I have another planned ❤️

Max milestones we've had in the last few months;
-Max LOVES pats now, she's addicted to them, she screams at me for pats every single day.
-Max likes to lay on the couch, especially 0.3 seconds after I get up off the couch, steals my seat.
-Max comes in the bed!! To cuddle!!

Guys Cookie has hyperthyroidism now. can my child have one working organ for 2 minutes,,,,,
Anyways Cookie didn't end up getting X-rays because she started walking a bit better so she got more pain meds and a very expensive injection cost me another 300$ but she's starting to seem more like herself 🙏🏻
