This is economic vandalism.

It robs from their future.

And it pushes house prices up.

A terrible policy, regardless of your politics.

Either ignorant of economics, or aware but careless.

Read through this thread from @gerardbrody on #consumer protection fixes required to the #NDIS suppliers contracts so that people with #disability are not overserviced when @NDIS funds are not available… So simple and so important to have in place. #robodebt like persecution!

Cheers to the High Court - this was a try on based on losing too much money rather than a genuine legal argument! Insurers fail in High Court bid to avoid coronavirus payouts to businesses https://t.co/vpATKDYf8Y
