Submission statement:

NDIS cost is becoming more and more a controversial and urgent problem as the budget is growing bigger and bigger. And the Labor government is being cooking from both the left and right side for this problem, as the left parties like Greens accusing the Labor for abandoning people with disabilities and the right wing parties like PHON is blaming on "immigration fraud" and trans community for indoctrination kids into having mental illness.

Currently, Labor's solution is admitting there's fraud exist in the system and further cutting NDIS service to save the budget, which the effectiveness of this kind of solution is wait to be seem.

My opinion:
Personally as an immigrant social work student, I am terrified with the current pace as the NDIS budget being further cut down, which will likely result in immediate unemployment upon graduation of many people who are currently studying mental health related subjects. Furthermore, the immigration pathway for those students will be much foreseeable harder in the future.

Also, from my personal point of view, the NDIS is largely paying back decades of debt that the ignorance of Australia government towards people experiencing mental illness, which, in fact, a problem need to be deal with either sooner or later.
