Monstrously expensive, yet so many complaints: "The $22 billion NDIS is failing the nation’s most vulnerable people, leaving as many as one in five, many with intellectual and mental disabilities, reporting that the ­flagship scheme has left them worse off." Who ever doubted this would be so? Now NDIS staff complain they're becoming disabled, too.
