I still do not understand why the hell they're cutting people and not the insane anounts of grift that occurs from companies.
Pigs gotta trough i guess
I think it's just an easier sell to convince people that they are being ripped off by individual "bad actors", as the government has argued with the NDIS (although the numbers are very low relative to the cuts). Not sure what it is about human psychology but we seem to want to default to blaming a mythical bogeyman at every opportunity. Prosecuting the case for structural change is very difficult in comparison.
I had to check the com name to work out if this was the Us, the UK, or Aus. All sliding down that slippery slope
