For over a month now, people with a disability have been unable to use NDIS funding for seeking sex worker services. Lived-experience advocates say it's a step backward.
I’m sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income
Hmmm looks like that’s an argument I never made, let’s check the definition of a straw man argument.
A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent’s argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent
Nothing about the straw man fallacy excludes hyperbole.
Under examples we can see
Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent’s argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.
Oh you thought I was talking about the very real possibility of someone wanting to commit suicide due to disability…. Tsk tsk.
As I said right from the outset, if there is no science to say that paying for hookers is a more effective use of money than other support methods then it shouldn’t be paid for by public funds.
You’re literally complaining how a tiny fraction of your tax that ends up in the NDIS might pay for fulfill the sexual needs of someone who otherwise wouldn’t have them fulfilled is lowering your quality of life.
You really don’t have the grounds to fling accusations of logical fallacies around here.
disabled people have sexual needs as well jsyk. You may not like it, but they do.
And I have a need for some rest and relaxation from the daily grind. I would rather spend my money on myself than on hookers for someone else.
Weird I know.
For many people being disabled is a daily grind. Add poverty to that. They don’t get a holiday from it.
That tax money is gone regardless. Denying people comfort won’t give it back to you.
Taxes can be lowered if the government isn’t wasting money.
oh wow. Been a while since I’ve seen this level of naivete
The Albanese government has delivered a tax cut to all Australians, and stopped spending money on sex workers through the NDIS.
You seem very uninformed.
I’m sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income in taxes just for some dude to get a blow job every other year so he doesn’t kill himself.
That sucks fam.
It’s alright, the government agrees with me.
No more blowjobs on NDIS dollars.
Guess your strawman will be offing itself soon.
Lol, because that’s the arbiter of truth amirite?
Now they’ll have more budget for their own escorts.
Not what a strawman is, btw, but don’t worry your pretty little head about it.

No evidence, no funds, Im a happy man.
Do try to keep up.

You haven’t refuted my argument in the slightest.
Every cent I pay in taxes that are spent on something I don’t benefit from is literally money I no longer have to improve my own quality of life.
Ah yes. Fuck everyone, I want mine.
Disgusting.
Lol, I love when clowns own themselves.
You’re amusing enough but I wouldn’t call you a clown.
