well we don't have as many boat people these days, so maybe that will save us some money eventually and those savings could then be redirected to the NDIS
and no doubt someone will say something along the lines of send Gina the bill.....
but the bottom line is, the money tree is bare. It was bare when this scheme was sold to us with no way to fund it, and it is has only begun to rejuvenate, though I doubt it will be able to ever grow enough to fund that, the NBN, Gonski etc etc - you know all those really awesome proposals that sound good and that we do actually need (well, care for those with disabilities), but just don't add up on paper.
I daresay that there will be no alternative than to rise the medicare levy or perhaps introduce a co payment for medical services,selling public assets, you get the drift... find a solution to raise revenues (in a real hurry, by the looks)
but it will all be Mr Abbotts fault as a scrambles to cash cheques that the previous govt so ineptly wrote.
It's all fine and dandy to make a promise, but you need to have the money in the bank to pay for it.
but hey, as labor says "what's a bit of debt, eh"
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
is he going to break another ? he's definitely not someone who's assurances can be taken seriously is he ? what an untrustworthy weasel .. but we knew that already didn;t we ..
