ON February 3 I wrote to NDIS Minister Bill Shorten, and as yet I've not received a reply or even an acknowledgement letter from him. Here's what I wrote:
"As a taxi driver in Newcastle I have a number of customers that are NDIS customers or clients and it seems that their program organisers "bully" them into what they can and cannot do. For example they are pressured not to use taxis by restricting access to funds; it seems that the organisers have a relationship with other transport providers and want the people whose programs that they manage to use their friends' transport, which does not always suit these customers/clients.
