Just finished two days of filming in Western
Sydney with fellow Greek Aussie Patriot
@PeteZog
We visited dozens of NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) providers in the diverse suburbs of Lakemba and Bankstown after being inspired by
@nickshirleyy
’s work exposing massive disability fraud in Minnesota.
Australia is ripe for this kind of investigative research because government NDIS spending on child autism almost matches the entire overall Australian national defence budget.
In Lakemba, western Sydney, there are more than 1,300 NDIS businesses within a 5-kilometre radius.
Lakemba has one NDIS business for every 13 residents, so we wanted to assess how many of these businesses are actually operating.
Time after time we found NDIS offices with locked doors and blacked out windows despite their websites insisting that they were open. We visited one $3 million house in Bankstown that was registered as the primary business address for an NDIS provider accused of multiple significant compliance breaches by the official NDIS regulator. An elderly Somali grandmother answered the door and refused to answer basic questions about the compliance breaches on the grounds that she did not have a translator. She very clearly understood what we were saying though because she became extremely agitated and hostile before slamming the door on our faces.
Later, staff at a day care business located directly across the road from the ISIS-linked Al Madina Dawah Center - the mosque that radicalised the Bondi shooter - tried to prevent
@PeteZog
from leaving their office, blocking the door and threatening him after Pete tried to ask basic questions about their business.
The day care staff member admitted to praying at the extremist ISIS linked Al Madina Dawah Center across the road and called men from a neighbouring NDIS shop to try surround us and fight us. They yelled that they were “calling their boys” and heaps of strange foreign Middle Eastern men materialised out of neighbouring buildings to try attack us.
Luckily we had two extremely tough, 7 foot tall Christian Pacific Islander security guys with 200 kg bench press records.
The overall scale of NDIS fraud in Australia is likely in the tens of billions. https://x.com/DrewPavlou/status/2008464933139431815
