Good grief, Kathryn, do you know anyone in Australia who is genuinely disabled and receiving the DSP? or their carer? Then you might know how incredibly difficult it is to meet the criteria. You might also discover how incredibly hard an uphill battle it is to receive adequate treatments and services. The community has a plethora of services to support families affected by Cancer, but that's about as far as the help goes. We face enough discrimination from the wider public without getting it from our friends and colleagues, such as here on this community. If you don't know what autism is, take a look on Channel 9's Current Affairs website from a few weeks ago and see how awful life is for a family experiencing this disorder. And in case you think the single mother should have a husband, go find him. Last time I was involved in supporting families affected by autism, 70% of fathers flew the coup.
Anyone who has been conscious for the past year would have noticed the Federal Govt cracking down on DSP recipients who claim to have a "bad back". We take offence at your statements because they are both ill-informed and come across as suggesting everyone on a pension is rorting. Go back and read your first few posts in this thread.
