    Incidentally The Australian was talking today about the huge numbers of jobs created in things like gardening and home maintenance by NDIS:

    The $22 billion taxpayer-funded National Disability Insurance Scheme was responsible for as many as 52,000 of the new jobs created last year, new analysis finds, suggesting quasi public sector employment is a big part of the “jobs boom”.

    Up to 13 per cent of the 400,000 jobs created last year — a record increase — involved specialist healthcare and caregiver roles, ­according to analysis by economists at Goldman Sachs. These were in addition to 1950 jobs at the ­National Disability Insurance Agency, which administers the NDIS, including 43 executives and about 320 middle managers...

    ...More than 50 lawnmowing and garden-maintenance companies have signed up as providers to the $22 billion National Disabil­ity Insurance Scheme, to service clients including the parents of children with autism.
