In ancient times this body servant work was performed by slaves conquered in battle, now performed by imported workforce from third world countries , but they get paid and after few years servitude given Australian residency – bit like becoming a freeman and given Roman citizenship. In other words same shit different eras.

The greatest growth in new businesses in Australia is NDIS and Aged Care providers

The regulators teeth are never pulled they don’t know how to or what to do – so they stuff up the works by having incomprehensible procedures – look at the first commentaries by Mary. Time delays are the built into the system so the benefits never eventuate.

Mary — A lot of health workers do not handle My Aged Care , NDIS, Residential Aged Care etc – mainly due to the paperwork involved. Nurses cannot look after the residents etc because they spend their shifts feeding computers with useless data preventing them from assessing residents or interacting with them. Worse still Aged Care Commission doubled the paper work so much so that it has led to the exodus of professionals – it is being kept afloat by Indians,south East Asians, and other imports on provisional visas. After 2 years they get their residencies or get pregnant after 6months working here. Then they piss of to get better jobs – to be replaced by the next wave. A backdoor way to migrate to Australia via the health sector without really fixing the care problems of the aging Aussies. Politicians merely create elaborate structures to be scammed – ratheraddrees the problem

Worse still when scams come to light they then create ‘independent’ Commissions and Commissioner’s to flick the problem and these structures -suck up the budget and gum up the works – compounding the problem.

I think you’ve just referred to them, champ

Logic and morality say ‘yes’ to your proposal, but experience says ‘maybe not’, remembering the way Forrest and Rhinehart donned hard hats and hi-vis vests to impersonate being miners (rather than soft-skinned corporate executives) and rallied huge protests of useful idiots to protest against Rudd’s mining superprofits tax.

And 35% of your meagre My Aged Care budget goes to admin, coordination and compliance.

The white elephant in the room.

You are not “incorrect”, the issue is that it’s comparing the inflated stock of house verses the new flow if NDIS spending. Lowering house prices in of themselves doesn’t help because there is no additional flow of money generated to pay for the NDIS.

To reign in the housing market, it would be most effective to wind back migration so that the future need for more housing is lower (the positive side effect is also lower demand for social services).
