lmao where to even begin
1) can't happen without significant capital (read: πŸ€‘) 2) ignores the zeitgeist around "quiet quitting" and the devaluation of "human resources" 3) AHAHAHAAAAAA
also, we all remember that covid was / is a mass-disabling event, right?

"[Tim Wilson] cites the CFMEU scandals enveloping the Victorian Labor government, along with well-documented fraud in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)." well yes you'll find the NDIS fraud sits with the capital class / business owners
fun fact: even I'm not on the NDIS because the paperwork / process is too overwhelming like, literal crying meltdown, immobile for hours levels of overwhelming!
"dropping the top marginal tax rate of 47 cents in the dollar" only applies to personal income above $190,000 (read: not very many Australians) www.ato.gov.au/tax-rates-an...

that said, wouldn't Tim Wilson fall squarely within the number of those that would benefit from his own proposal? lol. lmao, even.
