We cannot go back to how disability support was before the NDIS

[@forestcottage7321]

This man is such a precise and powerful oritor! He needs to be listened to. We need him as Prime Minister!!!! Well done Jordon. You really are wonderful!! ❤

[@apotheticallyautistic73]

[@portia_zar]

You are the best of us Jordon. Such a brilliant speech that absolutely nails it. Hands off our NDIS!

This is the reality now .. I feel like I’m doing the same thing . Labor once embraced NDIS & now they have the Murdoch approach of starving us & disempowering us

What a legend and great bloke

My family is an autistic family that means it’s tracked back 4 generations so far . We’ve been fighting gaol mental asylums & now a gov.

[@minglewit-AutismADHDcoach]

I really appreciate your comment. My family is autistic and ADHD family too. The problem here is that neurodivergence is like an iceberg: you might see a small icy tip sticking out of the water, yet most of what we are struggling with is actually invisible. Autistics have to be particularly creative in finding and justifying supports. Even the iceberg can be 'invisible', because some of us have learned to hide. A lot of anxiety and depression tends to accompany autism. And it's mostly those that disable us.

[@minglewit-AutismADHDcoach]

Thank you, thank you, thank you @Jordon Steele-John! I cannot thank you enough! For your fantastic, passionate disability advocacy! So many of us can't do this for ourselves, because we might be totally overwhelmed. A lot of us don't have the 'brain' capacity' or energy, because of various issues, including mental health, lack of education, lack of opportunities to access information, inability to communicate and trauma response. I hope the right people will listen to you and other wonderful advocates like @Dr George Taleporos. ❤

[@mavphill]

Exactly why we need a true representative democracy so that we have politicians who know and have lived the experiences and not career politicians and bureaucrats who just shuffle paper and write emails and tick boxes. When you speak from a place of truth you speak with power. Not false promises and empty words.

[@nellyjane21]

We need to protest outside every disability expo until we get an NDIS that’s run honestly for us not the multinats providers & our medical reports must be read by medical professionals & they must wk with ea person to fund the needs of disabled people

[@shaunepegrum]

😢WOW. Someone that understands. You hit the nail on the head. Well said

[@nellyjane21]

Please share on all your SMedia

[@nellyjane21]

By protesting outside disability expos we will attract media attention & more public awareness

[@user-hi4xd4yt1b]

I know what it was like before the ndis it was hell

[@lynetteloton5084]

Best speech I've heard in a long time. NDIS does work providing it is not abused by the greedy. I feel privileged to provide care to those who need it when they need it.

[@nellyjane21]

Trouble is you’re not trained to care for all disabled only a small fraction of education is available.. ie I’m autistic adult .. can you explain what executive function is ? I don’t mean you have to on here , but only 4 supp wkrs in 5,yrs have any idea how to support a person with little no executive Function

[@nellyjane21]

If gov provided training via tafe from qualified professionals we could expect better outcomes.. sadly good people like you are just keeping time without any decent education in disabilities esp autism .,

[@richardstead9789]

I hate government departments it's like talking to an idiot they're supposed to be there to help but it's like they want to do the opposite

NDIS caused a lot of tragedies in mental health community, social group based support existed before ndis was amputated, we face an ocean of choices: vast majority are terrible choices, vast majority of providers(agents), support workers are money-oriented, very unprofessional, clients are likely to be misled by support coordinators and plan managers. One of the main purposes of ndis is to save money for government by taking advantage of the silent disability community, if you understand this, the seemingly complicated ndis is not hard to understand. Conscience and wisdom are seriously lacking, in the whole country as well.

[@nellyjane21]

The bill has allowed abuse of myself and 7 members of my family .

[@GordonSmith-x3w]

Disgraceful

[@wentworthlongfellow1347]

He’s using the reasonable issue of choice of wheel chair to defend an NDIS system that is paying for expensive holidays, prostitutes and being rorted to the tune of billions a year. He is in total denial that the NDIS is being rorted at the expense of hard working tax payers who do support a reasonable scheme, but who themselves can’t afford the expensive holidays they are funding.

[@fatherburning358]

I've heard of this holiday rort. Can you refer me to a source please. I'd like to understand what is happening with this.

[@amandamandamands]

There is the very rare person who is doing that and it says how bad the processes are in NDIA that things like that aren't being picked up as they happen. The people who are taking the holiday are charging it as respite, can't blame them that they would prefer to do that than go to a group home situation that they have zero control over who they are interacting with. None of the categories that you are mentioning are being spent to billions a year. That providers are rorting is a separate issue and none of the changes that they have suggested are going to change that as to verify that stuff they would need to have staff that actually go out into the field and verify that the providers that say they are offering a service actually do so and also offer a quality service, rather than a half assed one because they are disabled so we can get away with it.

[@nellyjane21]

Try saying your slur again with EVIDENCE ! Goat keeper !

Love the speech but the captioning style is less accessible for deaf people. Please dont use it.

[@amandamandamands]

I have KZbin's closed captioning on and so it shows up as well, sometimes it does it better than others but it is there

[@mrgillagorilla]

That is good and fine, you are young, my wife is 60 with SMA . The crape we been, though by....O.Ts that know nothing about disability. Same thing with her chair. Not much has changed. Over 12 months after her chair turned up. It had to get modified to suit her, when she finally got the chair back, it was not fit for purpose. She is still in her old chair she has had for 15 years, all because of dumb O,T's . The chair is still here use less. All that taxpayers money going down the drain. Things the O T's. 7 years and still got nothing to fit her.

[@nellyjane21]

You can make a complaint to ndis . But also demand a plan review ..then internal review then AAT

[@mrgillagorilla]

My wife is sick and tired to fight know. She is going fast, so I don't expect anything from the government they just make it harder for me to maintain her old chair. All because of dumb people that think what is good for her, .
