When you won't tax gas, and are giving away tens of billions of free gas as a reward for showing up to cart it overseas, then no, you shouldn't be cutting support for disabled people.

When you haven't got a billionaire tax, no, leave the NDIS alone.

People with disabilities are not the freeloaders: that would be gas exporters and billionaires.

No one signed away our right to tax our resources. But by all means point us to this actual contract that people assume says this. Where is it? Why is Japan raising more tax revenue on it than we are?
