Author: Micheline Lee
Caring or careless? In this powerful and moving essay, Micheline Lee tells the story of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, a transformative social change that ran into problems. For some users it has been "the only lifeboat in the ocean," but for others it has meant still more exclusion. Lee draws deeply on her own experience, on diverse case studies, as well as insights from moral philosophy and the law. This is an essay about common humanity and effective, lasting social change.Lee explains what happened, showing that the NDIS, for all its good intentions, has not understood people with disabilities well enough. While government thought the market could do its job, a caring society cannot be outsourced. She begins by considering what it is to be disabled. And since to be disabled is part of the human condition, she also considers what it is to be human.
