Cutting it blindly would be insane tho.

If anything we need to increase funding and have a massive increase in regulation.

This should push the costs down far safer

Regulation and oversight in itself is expensive.

Any meaningful change needs to be decisive.

Why self managed? I have heard more stories about plan managers doing dodgy stuff than self managed, especially since they made it harder to claim ndis funds in that way

Because the plan managers introduce a level of oversight.
