It's me. 😎

@PeterScutt @drgeorgethecrip @MeganTopping6 Thanks for listening!

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

Very enjoyable discussion with George and Megan, it's great seeing some academic research reinforcing what we people with disability already know!

I know you have #election fatigue but this is about more than #politics. Yesterday @EveryAustralian marched down the streets of the Melbourne CBD to defend our NDIS. Why? Read on: #DefendOurNDIS #disability #auspol https://t.co/XWVQ70kbeN

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

Scott Morrison talks about the importance of the economy and jobs, yet still imposes a staffing cap on the NDIA that stunts the growth of both. Strange... #AusVotes2022 #LeadersDebate #auspoll2022 #NDIS

ICYMI

$1 NDIS spending equals $2.25 benefit to local community.

Plus there is of course, the impact on people's lives and all the jobs created too.

The NDIS is quite the social and economic reform!

Thank you so much for speaking! It was great having you and Luke on the panel. I have uploaded the forum here: https://t.co/80U5asAZjJ @CydaAu @EveryAustralian @VALID_Inc #DefendOurNDIS #NDIS

[Mary Sayers @maryjsayers]

I am looking forward to speaking at a #DefendOurNDIS forum today organised by @carlfthompson about how the NDIS can be improved for children and young people with disability. Its not too late to register https://t.co/1OHteTASw8 @EveryAustralian @CydaAu

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

My hot take: Scott Morrison said he was 'blessed' not to have any children with #disability. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he meant to say he was #blessed not to have to navigate the bureaucratic, punitive, and dehumanising #NDIS? #ausvotes

Nothing about us without us: vlogging to tell our stories our way https://t.co/WnYgMdqcsW < by @carlfthompson - very dry humour 😁

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

@DeanDeca I don't have any stats, but lots of stories anecdotally. The ratio of bankers to PWD is growing more and more unbalanced, unfortunately. Especially in leadership roles, where dissenting views are quickly shot down.

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

#qanda People with disability are leaving the NDIA workforce in record numbers. The NDIA and the government are not listening to our views.

[Kirsty Crosby @kirsty_crosby]

#qanda the NDIS participants are the experts in their own lives, they know what they need to meet there goals. Roboplanning does not!

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

#qanda How does Hollie feel about the proposal that people's goals will soon have no impact on their level of NDIS funding?

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

#qanda I worked in partnership with the NDIS. I quit my job because I didn't agree with independent assessments. That's how big a deal it is.

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

#qanda Hollie said every person with autism is unique; how can she be part of a political party that wants to put people with disability in a box?

[Carl Thompson @carlfthompson]

@criprights The assertion is far reaching. Am I less "functioning" because I now have more support workers than I did pre-NDIS? I'm gobsmacked.

I had to lie about my #disability. This video explains why. https://t.co/EuyENmkpuY
