NDIS bureaucracy wasted over a year fighting wheelchair request for quadriplegic child

Summary

A parent shares a personal story about their quadriplegic son to illustrate the absurdity and wastefulness of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) bureaucracy. The article criticizes the NDIS for spending over a year fighting the family's request for a basic wheelchair for their child, while simultaneously blaming disabled people for the scheme's cost blowouts. The author argues that the real waste comes from administrative inefficiency and fighting legitimate claims, not from the disabled individuals the scheme is meant to support.
