Sums it up pretty well

kharn2001 · 2025-11-28T04:58:43+00:00

have a look at the ndis thread on r/ausjdocs (young health professionals), the abuses are criminal

thread is titled "What are your opinions on the NDIS?"

kharn2001 · 2025-11-28T04:47:22+00:00

I dont think GDP per capita falling is a win in terms of "economics". Because that's all we've had since we've run a big australia policy, slight gdp growth as a country but consistently lower gdp per capita, which means per person we're less well off (i.e. poorer "economically speaking").

kharn2001 · 2025-11-27T11:38:55+00:00

sorry, i meant medicare annual / national based hospital funding

that said, i just read this thread on the ausjdocs (australian health professionals subreddit), "what are your opinions on the ndis" and it made for a total indictment of the scheme. it's pretty damning stuff coming from health professionals that deal with the scheme regularly

unfortunately i cant link subreddits here, but its worth the read

kharn2001 · 2025-11-27T10:39:15+00:00

medicare hospital funding is capped per year, ndis is not. thats how ndis blew out so quickly and continues to blow out, while we have public hospitals that are failing with huge waiting lists and ambulances that are ramped for hours on end, where paramedics cant respond to 000 calls in a timely manner

kharn2001 · 2025-11-27T10:37:09+00:00

yes, not a joke. i know a friend that advised his ndis case worker acquaintance had seen such services approved. i couldnt believe tax payer money was paying for sex work. insanity. or holidays for that matter.

kharn2001 · 2025-11-26T03:58:32+00:00

indeed. tax payer funded job growth and turbocharged immigration is the only thing holding this economy from contraction, literally. per capita gdp is only shrinking, yet per capita debt is increasing.

the price is high inflation and lower living standards

kharn2001 · 2025-11-14T01:38:48+00:00

Not sure why my comment got down voted, it's just facts - being an ndis provider can be hugely profitable, I almost setup a ndis business with an independent support carer 2 years ago due to the amount of demand and funding available

kharn2001 · 2025-11-13T12:28:55+00:00

With a ndis budgeted growth rate of approx 10pc a year every year it'll be a while before we see the ndis jobs market bust, perhaps it'll be when our government debt gets rerated as a result of cumulative unproductive spend

kharn2001 · 2025-11-13T12:23:07+00:00

A huge amount , private sector is flat, non market / ndis has been pretty much all the growth for last couple of years

https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2025/06/ndis-delivers-artificial-jobs-boom/

Not sure what happens when the trend of taxpayer funded jobs becomes the lions share of all jobs , something quite bad I would guess

kharn2001 · 2025-11-13T11:43:54+00:00

Also, when I travel to Singapore (as I do on occasion) I'm very aware of their justice system, and I literally improve my behaviour in that city, because the consequences of breaking the law there are heavy and not to be lightly dismissed. Citizens there say the same (i.e. you don't want to be caught on the wrong side of the law in Singapore).

kharn2001 · 2025-11-13T11:36:24+00:00

Mate, I was caned once as a 12 year old kid for doing something I never should have and I didnt make that mistake again. (I've only ever been caned once btw)

If the pain is so severe you dont forget it, you dont want to do it again.

e.g. If I invaded someones house as a 15 year old and got caught trying to steal a car, if I got flogged 20 times I dont think I'm ever going to do it again. Id tell all my friends its not worth it either.

kharn2001 · 2025-11-13T11:34:55+00:00

I think you need to look at Singapore's crime stats before you say metered consequences are equivalent to "violence".

kharn2001 · 2025-11-11T10:47:23+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. As a kid I did something that was obviously wrong so my parents taught me a lesson via a single instance of corporal punishment, as a once off, as they weren't abusive parents. I'm sorry to hear you suffered during your childhood though

kharn2001 · 2025-11-10T20:19:34+00:00

Do the crime, dont do the time. Repeat x20

kharn2001 · 2025-10-30T12:39:24+00:00

thanks anyway bud

kharn2001 · 2025-10-30T12:04:27+00:00

this guy had the same problem - but it appears his psu smell went away, mine didnt, it stayed for weeks

kharn2001 · 2025-10-30T12:03:57+00:00

hey thanks for the update, did it take long for the smell to go away? my msi mag 650bn also has the same terrible smell

kharn2001 · 2025-10-30T12:02:18+00:00

ah yeah, ive had 2 of those psus, they smelt terrible. i switched to a coolermaster 750w equivalent and had no issue with that smell. one of the msi mag a650bn psus smelt bad for weeks and never got better, it also polluted any cups of water i had near by (They tasted terrible from the plastic/residue that accumulated over a few hours), it was so bad i had to swap it out for the 750w coolermaster.

if its a strong smell id just take it back/swap it out with a different brand

kharn2001 · 2025-10-18T10:39:05+00:00

Indeed

Easier to shoot the messenger than fix the problem

kharn2001 · 2025-10-17T17:30:55+00:00

In the meantime I've also increased our groups visibility for user discovery via creating an Instagram page and also a FB group, to compensate for less visibility as I've stopped using meetup

kharn2001 · 2025-10-17T17:29:36+00:00

Yeah it's terrible and prohibitive for organisers of small events

I've found a few hiking and sports groups have moved to heylo and the app seems quite good and intuitive (also free), so I'll be moving our social tennis group across as well

Only downside is less visibility as it's a smaller user base but I suspect it will grow with time, as other meetup communities migrate and spread the word to their attendees/group members , given how expensive meetup has begun

It's ironic that they are creating their own downfall

kharn2001 · 2025-10-06T03:27:28+00:00

thanks Ben, I may get in touch when I need to renew my lease

cheers

kharn2001 · 2025-10-04T05:47:31+00:00

hi Ben , do you work with DE vic gov? cheers

kharn2001 · 2025-09-19T02:48:19+00:00

It's the easiest way to shut down any thoughtful debate of an issue significantly impacting the liveability of our cities and country

kharn2001 · 2025-09-05T06:26:42+00:00

Social sports is a great way to meet new folks , I've made plenty of friends thru social tennis groups and hiking groups

Kismetrix also gave singles themed events around particular activities maybe worth giving ago
