With its beginnings in the shadows of the global financial crisis, the scheme succeeded against all odds. How?The NDIS came into being via a multi-pronged campaign that turned politics upside down. Instead of government making promises and persuading the people, the opposite occurred. Under the guiding hand of Bill Shorten and Jenny Macklin, Labor brought together warring disability groups and gave them a platform to tell their stories. The nation listened; Canberra listened. At the same time a team of the nation's most acute economic minds designed the machinery. Their case persuaded the Productivity Commission, building momentum that became unstoppable.The creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme is a political miracle, a victory in the most difficult economic times, where all previous efforts had failed. It is a restoration of rights to those Australians who had been denied their fair go. Every Australian Counts tells that story.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: AUItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 340gAuthor: Michael Epis, Anita PhillipsGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
