NDIS will go down as the ‘biggest piece of spending excess’ in Australian history

Psychiatrist Tanveer Ahmed has argued that the National Disability Insurance Scheme [NDIS] will go down as the “biggest piece of spending excess in Australia’s history”.

Mr Ahmed went head to head with Developing Australians Communities Co-founder River Night to debate whether or not the NDIS is costing Australians too much.

It comes as the Labor pledged in the federal budget to use $469 million to crack down on fraud and exploitation in the NDIS.

“Look, I think the NDIS will go down as the biggest piece of spending excess in Australia’s history,” Mr Ahmed said.

“It was designed for certain thing, but it essentially encourages overservicing the sick role and all sorts of excesses.”
