Josh Friedheadburg

Next time you see Josh Friedheadburg smugly claim a budget back in the black, remember two things, first, it’s not! Second, spare a thought for the disabled he stole it from. The Federal Government, of which Friedheadburg is the Treasurer, has underspent the NDIS Budget by a whopping $4.6 Billion!

So next time you see someone in a wheelchair, struggling with a curb or a step, the next time you hear of a parent struggling to care for a disabled child, or how long the wait actually is for funding.

The NDIS will tell you it’s ten to twelve days, reality tells you it’s anything up to 9 months. That’s another substantial saving to the budget, but who’s paying for it. People in wheelchairs, the disabled who are housebound, those with mental health issues, who’s lives are made worse by an inhumane drive for a balanced budget.

So the next time Josh smugly claims a balanced budget, remember who paid for it!

But then spare a thought for the NSW resident, who needs to travel for the relevant specialist attention. IPTAAS, “Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme. Who have just stopped paying the GST content of a claim. Once again leaving the patient out of pocket, another budget saving from the sick! Thanks Dominic Perrottet.

Remember also, Vicenzo Peruggia, famous for stealing the Mona Lisa. An honest thief, who went to jail for his crime.
