US House of Representatives today voted to protect marriage equality. Now has to pass the Senate with McConnell saying he hasn't decided yet.

SSM is next on their 14th century Supreme Court to knock over.

If that food at the restaurant you recommend for our soiree is not up to standard, I might have to get down to my local NDIS .

Then why are you complaining that we don’t have the infrastructure to look after those in need in a timely fashion?

Obviously your a supporter of ramping up the funding of the NDIS!

I would hazard a guess that if he is your friend Bob, he can probably afford to pay the up front fee.
Thats how it works.
If you want an appointment with a doctor/specialist as a pensioner, or on some other freebie scheme,  you wait, and wait.    If you are prepared to delve into the shoe box at the back of the wardrobe and pay the fee you get in quickly.
Dont know about elsewhere but if you cant pay up front here in the Hunter you can wait for up to 6 months for a specialist consult, and if its an ENT , longer. And most will travel up to 3 hours round trip,  some times further, with the costs involved out of your pocket as well.
Feel for the country people who have to travel to Sydney for cancer treatment for themselves or their kids.  Every week for up to a year.  Time off work. Petrol or train fares. Place to stay. 
Why doesnt your mate just pay up front and be done with it, like a lot of the rest of us have to do , if we want medical care.

All of this waste along with defending endless court cases looking after the mates in the legal fraternity is exactly what Shorten is looking at. 

The Libs standard plan to inadequately fund, fill it up with rorts and massive blowouts to dismantle and privatize, selling off to mates has just hit a roadblock.

 bugger giving any assist to drug addicts. That is self-inflicted.

Keep up Bobbie, that was under the incompetent Scomo regime.
A local bloke is under the NDIS, as part of it, they pay $130 to mow his lawn.
The actual contractor who mows the lawn is paid $50……

That’s what happens when an incompetent Government guts the public service, and outsources to private contractors (mates)

In any event, saying it’s too expensive, is not an argument. The people in need MUST be looked after.
If that means people in your demographic lose a few perks, then that’s ok.
