I really do hope that this change would come into effect real soon because it used to be like that before the GST came into effect. Now what she is doing with the disability pension reforms is nothing more than a "bloody joke!" The way the system is going I wold not be surprised if there is going to be a "social war".

It was okay when he was in primary shcool but when he went to highschool it became very hard. I liked going to work as it made me feel independent and I loved the social part of it. Now I dont even have a social life as my son is just too difficult to take out. We need to have more things in place for young disbaled adults to do.I
