I cannot stop thinking about the #NDIS changes and what they mean.

In plain language, the NDIS is becoming like Centrelink. They are saying to participants: (1/4)
1. We will give you the smallest amount of support we can get away with.
2. To get this support, you will have to endure humiliating, exposing, dehumanising processes, over and over again.
3. We will mine your pain and distress for data, and weaponise this data against you. (2/4)
4. We will assume from the start that you will do the wrong thing, and we will use surveillance and scrutiny to punish you in advance.
5. If you make a small mistake, however innocently, we will make you pay. (3/4)
6. And we will remind you, through the tone of every one of our interactions with you, just how insignificant you are.

Some commentators have used the word "evil". I think that's justified. (4/4)
