NDIS
Bring all Australians
Together as one
For everyone counts
Everyone deserves equality
NDIS says I count
Count me in
When making polices
Listen to my voice
NDIS says count me in
For a fairer system for
People with disabilities
Regardless of postal address
The Productivity Commission
Said YES to NDIS
Yes to a single unified
Funding system for PWD’s
COAG said YES to NDIS
Agreeing in principle
The concept of NDIS
Is good for ALL AUSTRLIANS
The Coalition said Yes
To NDIS in principle
Yes to all Australians count
So let’s make NDIS work
In October everyone cheered
Everyone agreed we should
Work to together so
Every Australian Counts
Now yes to NDIS but not now
Yes to NDIS in 2014 said Labor
Yes to its introduction, but
Mr Abbott says WAIT!
Now it’s WAIT to NDIS
Now they say wait
After the next election
Labor too said, WAIT
YES NDIS is a policies issues
Yes we agree in principal
To a fairer Disability System
It’s an election issue
You see NDIS is just that
A campaign by PWD’s
For a fair go and we want
To know who is Fair dinkum
NDIS is not a policy
It has no working draft
No committed funds
And no agreed time table
It has no committed long term
Funding system –
No one has said where the
Money will come from
Some want it to work
Like Medicare
meaning another Tax Levi
who would vote for that
we’re ready for NDIS
ready to test if it works
ready to write a users guide
without agreed guidelines
don’t you see NDIS
is a campaign giving us a voice
it’s no more than an idealistic
way to fund a disabilities sector
Go away until you have
A piece of legislation and
Committed funds
Then I’ll help you write a pilot
Then and only then!
