The federal minister responsible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Stuart Robert, says NSW is bullying the other states by demanding disability funding that he claims would be spent on other projects

"This is about politics and not about policy ... about a billion dollars that are designed as an insurance reserve contingency fund, and all the states and territories must agree on how it's spent, or indeed if it's spent at all," Mr Robert told 2GB's Ray Hadley. It was due to be set up by July 1 last year and the Disability Reform Council, made up of state and federal disability ministers, agreed last year to "ensure funding committed for NDIS participants is invested in NDIS participants".Mr Robert said he did not believe that the states would use the money for disability services.

The federal government's promised budget surplus is under serious threat due to the economic fallout from the nation's bushfire emergency as well as the coronavirus crisis and the drought.

I imagine stuartrobertmp and ScottyfromMarketing would be experts on political bullying

stuartrobertmp oversees a program that has a built in allowance for $2billion (That’s a B) in fraud. How can he actually comment on anything to do with the NDIS and be believed?

At one point the NDIS was going to be funded by a small increased tax to the Medicare levyBUT guess what? The wonderful economic managers i.e. LNP said no no we can fund it out of consolidated revenue. Now look🤔🙄👎🏻

Ahhh... the ROBOFRAUDSTER steps up...you should be in jail for fraud and missapropriation. If you were a publuc servant YOU would be

People are waiting Months to be Assessed

Dumbo the elephant 🐘 !!!

Completely irresponsible

I have never believed a single word I have heard from this politician. Ever. So far I have it 100% accurate as he has yet to say anything honest.

These Heartless people (usually liberals) should not be given jobs in government.There are certain things that just aren’t and can never be termed as rorts and therefore shld always be highly funded Disability is one of them.

He looks like a demented Pinocchio.

Good christ following boi

Create a dept you dont want to support because you dont believe in it and make it very difficult to access. Bingo ... savings galore

Where does this bloke get off?

NDIA & its legislation has always been flawed. Legislation that doesn't even define disability, rediculous requirements like HQs in Geelong & taking state health staff that has nobbled the agency. Headcount caps heavy use of consultants who hide figures have all led to failure.

Can you really believe Stuart Robert? He hasn't been totally honest with the Taxpayers in the past Just think RoboDebt, what about his outrageous internet claim what was it 33 grand for a month's internet use

Does he not own a mirror?

Depriving the most vulnerable of society. This NDIS is certainly a gold mine more for many contractors..........Really does need ongoing auditing.

‘BizRebuild’ initiative set to help locals in decimated NSW town of Mogo | Sky News AustraliaThe New South Wales town of Mogo was decimated during the summer’s brutal bushfires, but the new ‘BizRebuild’ initiative is giving locals hope and a chance to get back on their feet. \n\nIt has been almost two months since the ferocious bushfires tore through the South Coast town, however locals have been left feeling the full effects, with many properties and businesses still decimated. \n\nLocal business owner, Richard Adams, whose son passed away just weeks before the fires hit the town, has told Sky News he has lost 200,000 dollars worth of stock due to the fires. \n\nThe ‘Bizrebuild’ initiative, which is chaired by former Governor-General Peter Cosgrove, aims to help locals continue trading now and into the future. \n\nThe initiative will create a pop-up mall in Mogo and will be in place for the next two-years, so locals can have a chance to set-up and continue making an income as the town’s rebuild takes place. \n\n“This is quite a remarkable event, this is going to establish a new CBD for the town … we need to re-establish that commercial activity a soon as possible,” Ms Cosgrove said. \n\nPaul Murray Live ‘Our Town’ is brought to you by Harvey Norman. \n HarveyNormanAU Surely the townsfolk have suffered enough without a bunch of blowins shouting about themselves in the main street. . Can’t they just get on with it without all the backslapping & self congratulations. So much for quite Australians. Paul Murray & Gerry Harvey, say no more. auspol HarveyNormanAU The network of climate deniers and racist sexist misogynists... As if that wasn’t enough... We all now know you give pedophile sympathisers a voice. Andrew Bolt should be not only sacked he should be never seen on any public broadcast ever again. Truly disturbing.
