Holly Hughes: 作为前自由党参议员，我深感NDIS系统正面临严峻挑战。我亲身经历过服务提供者滥用价格指南，对NDIS参与者收取过高的费用，这不仅损害了参与者的利益，也使得退伍军人等其他需要帮助的人难以获得服务。我认为，应该统一收费标准，不应因身份而异。NDIS的价格指南扭曲了市场，使得都市区价格统一，这并不合理。一些服务提供者为了自身利益，对所有儿童收取相同的旅行费用，这种行为必须制止。NDIS系统正处于崩溃的边缘，需要进行重大改革，否则最脆弱的人群将受到影响。我呼吁政治家们拿出勇气，对NDIS进行彻底改革，确保真正需要帮助的人能够获得支持，并严惩那些滥用该计划的人。我对那些无法摆脱成年子女的父母表示同情，年轻人应该努力工作，并对父母提供的住所表示感激，为自己的未来负责。
