@YeahhhhBuddddy It’s that darn blue line. She’s obsessed with it

Think I underestimated how much Butter wants tickets #TaylorSwiftErasTour #ticketek

For context, the NDIS currently generates over 270,000 jobs (those figures are a bit outdated). And there is a significant workforce shortage. There are more jobs than there currently are people to fill them!

If he can’t think about human rights, Dutton should think of his precious economy. #AUKUS might produce 20k jobs over 30 freakin’ yrs. Those of the sort of numbers we in the #NDIS call a hiccup.

Thanks for tuning in to my first ever Twitter rant.

[Sara @SaraNeedsHandle]

I’m not a big Twitter user but I have to get this rant out of me (in what be the most unhealthy way possible). We are hearing a lot of hand wringing about a $50bn #NDIS. But what does this debate tell people with disability?

[Sara @SaraNeedsHandle]

Defence code $48BN THIS YEAR. Remind me who we are at war with again? Budgets are about priorities, and people with disability are being told the #NDIS isn’t a priority.

[Sara @SaraNeedsHandle]

What the actual ?!?!

[Caitlin Cassidy @caitecassidy]

Did I hear that correctly? It appears the prime minister just said he and Jenny were "blessed" to have two children without disabilities, in response to a woman's question about receiving NDIS funding for her four-year-old son with autism.

If you know me, you probably know I love #ndis nerdy policy details, but not as much as I enjoy talking someone's ears off about cute animals.
In this article, I get to do both.

This lockdown I made a sketch for DSC's National Disability Conference about the NDIS assessment process. While I understand most of you already paid $500 to attend this zoom conference, I'm posting my extremely (extremely) subtle satire here anyway.

So proud of my colleagues at DSC today for putting on this legendary show ‘You’re either in or you’re out’: #NDIS architects say scheme is inequitable https://t.co/2RmJxyLEOm

[Sara @SaraNeedsHandle]

#NDIS newsletter from yesterday has no mention of the plan to drop Independent Assessments. What stage of grief is this?

https://t.co/qATWQD9NrS

[Sara @SaraNeedsHandle]

And still no press release from the #NDIS to participants regarding scrapping Independent Assessments.

Not that I think anybody gets their news via NDIA press releases. But given all the anxiety this has caused participants, a memo would be nice.

[Sara @SaraNeedsHandle]

My post-mortem for Independent Assessments...

Basically, how the hell did we get here and where are we going? #NDIS
