Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogoulas just released the most damning piece of investigative journalism Australia has produced in years. Minnesota’s disability fraud broke the internet. Australia’s makes it look small. The NDIS is a $52 billion/year program, the 3rd largest expense on the federal budget and larger than Australia’s entire defence budget. In Lakemba there are 1,300 registered providers. Statistically, 1 in every 3 people is running one. The investigation shows 9 providers sharing a single building address. Every door was locked across multiple visits. Phone numbers disconnected, websites broken or gone entirely. They then set up a cleaning sting by hiring an NDIS registered cleaning provider; the kind billing directly out of disabled people’s government support packages. Two cleaners show up to a staged Airbnb with zero equipment. They clean with the room’s own tissue box and leave in 25 minutes. Invoice: $236. That includes 2 hours labour at $116 and $120 in “travel costs” claiming 60km when the actual distance was 30km. When confronted, the provider reissues it at $24.80. Then there’s M&F Disability Services. They received a lifetime ban from the NDIS in September 2025 for fraud. Within weeks, Sunny Days Care opens at the exact same address, on the exact same phone number, with the same accountant connected to both entities through ASIC records. When Drew and Pete walk in and ask questions, staff physically assault them, smash $800 worth of equipment, and scream sexual harassment allegations on a public street. The NDIS integrity chief told the Australian Senate that there are literally not enough judges to deal with the known fraud cases (we’re talking tens of billions). Out of 7,000 fraud tip offs from participants reporting their own providers, only 16 prosecutions have been completed. 16 out of 7,000.

There needs to be an AI blocking filter for social media. There is SO much BS online now that most people think is reality. Everyone is going to get actually dumber because of it.

My bucket list item that’s driving me crazy lately is getting in a cage and looking into the eyes of a Great White Shark. I wanna be face to face with one - there’s Something primal about it. I don’t know why I feel so drawn to sharks but I gotta make it happen. No more excuses

She wouldn’t refer to it as anything else, only “a smaller body of water.”
