A lot of you have asked who am I voting for.

So far the Greens because they are the only ones who have people with disabilities, us in their campaign, and they all voted no to the bill.

I'm also writing to all the Candidates. 

There are many issues we need to have addressed for disability.

My main concern is the NDIS.

NDIS should be insurance for everyone, it's in case we get sick and don't get better, or if we have an injury and don't get better, or if we are born with disabilities. It's a wonderful thing because all of us don't have to live in fear of disability so much. We can have lives, and our families can have lives too.

But this has been undermined severely by the passing of the bill.

Everyone's disability is different, and everybody’s life is different, so we need different plans. Very different, like I needed a certain shower head to clean myself. 

But now they have brought in a list.

No one can live under a list.

It kills innovation and choice.

And it means we are second class citizens, because people with able bodies and minds don't have to live by a list.

All support workers will have to be NDIS registered, making it potentially harder for people to become support workers, therefore giving us way less choice in who supports us. 

Registering will not stop the abuse of people with disabilities. I have been abused far more by registered support workers. This will only profit support provider companies because they are the ones who can afford registration. The companies charge more per hour to cover overheads but pay the workers less, which really isn't fair as companies don't pay much and many support workers can't live off that without working unhealthy amounts of hours. This also increases the risk of harm to us and means that it's hard to keep good workers because they are more likely to leave this line of work or they become cold.

It's horrible torture, having someone you don't like touching your body, day after day.

I fail to see how this will make things better. We had the choice between unregistered and registered providers, how does taking a choice away make any difference, except make it harder. And you can have all the regulations in the world and still have people being abused.

They're taking away our right to choose who supports us. 

Since passing of the bill, new legislation does not allow for people with disabilities to be involved in determining how processes are designed and put into practice. Our experience and knowledge should shape how we access support and funding.

Since passing of the bill we will be forced to undergo assessments to prove our needs. We have already had to go through all of this with health professionals, and it is traumatic. Why do we need to go through it all again? We don’t know what these assessments will look like or how they will be used to assess our needs.

Since passing of the bill, people have been forced off the NDIS, before the State and Territory governments establish ‘foundational supports’; leaving many in our community without support. I can't see why this isn't just all under the NDIS.

Since passing of the bill people who need 24/7 support could be put at greater risk of abuse and neglect by being forced together. As I wrote in the beginning, I have extensive experience of this, and it was horrible. People think it's safer in a group home because there are always witnesses, but this isn't always the case, and the abuse I suffered was nearly always witnessed and the witnesses did nothing. Bill Shorten said that they are hoping to break the isolation by bringing us together. This is so ridiculous, I felt so lonely and stifled in all the crowded living environments. You get us with all our traumas and expect us to get along. Believe me I have tried and we just don't. We are not all connected by our disabilities because we are all different and we are different people.

Since passing of the bill, it could be harder to appeal an inadequately funded NDIS plan. I have been through the appeals process, and I get really scared at the thought of not being able to do it again. They have taken away “reasonable and necessary” from us so they can do anything they like with our funding.

Of course we want to have any fraud stopped, but penalising us all through these changes is not right. And all of this fraud is because NDIS was asleep at the wheel.

It will cost more money in the future and only create negative change. It will cause less productivity and cause more disability through neglect.

I'm not sure we can fight this because of all the propaganda and misinformation out there. 

The government is saying that it’s because they care about us when really they are cutting our funding that we need. 

Also some people think that by robbing funds from the disabled community they can fix the economy, when it is the very opposite.

As a society, we will all suffer, because NDIS is meant for all of us and we will just suffer because so many of us are suffering.

We will all suffer and many more people will die through neglect.
