I've had an itch for a few weeks, wanting to write something readable but quite deeply technical about the 'original sin' of the NDIS scheme design — the decision a bunch of economists made to leave pricing to the markets to sort out, which leads to the kind of scheme inflation the Labor government is now saying it is forced to make hard decisions to rein in. The same Labor government that implemented a scheme without effective price constraints in the first place? Yeah, them, that mob. Those idiots.
I wasn't sure how the fuck I was ever going to find the two weeks I'd need to write it, and I was complaining to my aca group chat about it, and they said: fuck it, just write it. So I took an hour, bashed out 1200 words, and sent it off to a policy magazine to consider. 😅
