Sussan Ley follows in Scott Morrison’s footsteps with renewed attacks on the NDIS (Screenshots via YouTube)In a bid to resurrect Coalition-era austerity, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley targets the NDIS while reviving Morrison’s divisive ‘have a go’ rhetoric, writes Melissa Marsden.
OPPOSITION LEADER Sussan Ley’s appearance on Insiders sent a clear message: the Liberal Party is committed to austerity and inequality.
But to reintroduce Morrison’s divisive language screams of desperation at a time when Australians are struggling.
Cuts to the NDIS, removing children with autism, have been widely condemned by the disability community as the Government’s main cost-cutting endeavour.
But Ley’s “pathways to work” reinforces the stereotype that people with disabilities can only work low-paid and low-skilled jobs.
