Everyone else who pays taxes towards a program like the NDIS is giving up a little of their own quality of life.
Hookers shouldn’t be getting NDIS funds paid to them when there are still people going without and this is part of balancing the budget to ensure the NDIS is sustainable.
Oh bullshit.
You don’t apply this to aged care. You don’t apply this to military funsing. You don’t aplly this to schooling - i’ve no kids and am menopausal so why should i give a shit about giving up parts of myyyyy quality of life for your kids???
Well i do because i’m not a fucking sociopath
Well that’s a lot of false equivalence going on, good luck with that.
False equivalence how.
These are all paid for by my tax.
Aged care, military and school funding al benefit society as a whole.
Paying for hookers does not benefit society as a whole and therefore it is not comparable, meaning you have made an argument of false equivalence.
Everyone else who pays taxes towards a program like the NDIS is giving up a little of their own quality of life.
This is such a myth. Look at how much you are taxed each year and then take out the percentage that is funding the NDIS. It will be fuck all, nowhere near enough to affect your quality of life.
More of my tax is going to the NDIS than to Medicare.
I would rather funds be spent on Medicare than hookers but you do you.

Just tax billionaires more. It’s not that hard. Australia doesn’t have a budget problem, it has a not taxing billionaires problem. There’s no point trying to save money by taking shit away from disabled poor people. That’s pinching pennies while burning hundred bills.

Every government that has tried to tax billionaires more has been voted out.
No government is going to win an election when smear campaigns can truthfully say the government is paying for hookers.
Welcome to reality.

So you’re celebrating a pointless penny pinching law legislating against people who already had their need validated in a court of law… Because that’s what other people think?
Get your own opinions.

Really?
Penny pinching on one of the least productive, most expensive government expenses! Crazy! I have no idea why they are so focused on it.

No I’m against it because I don’t believe in paying for sex, that sex workers are predatory and undeserving of public funds.
I was pointing out the political reality of the situation because regardless of my personal opinion the outcome will be decided by the electorate.
Again, welcome to reality, sometimes life sucks and then you die.
