My sister - quadriplegic CP - relies on others for everything - totally vulnerable - I'm so mad about this - heads must roll - and my sister asks, why did Ann's murderer only get a few years in jail? Took her liberty, dignity, communication, starved her, stole from her. 😡😪
Should be launching action against govt who have handed over NDIS care to the private sector You get what you pay for and what we ( public purse ) pays goes straight into the pocket of these 5hitbags. Now what will happen is the lowest on the rung will be thrown under bus.
