My Supplementary Submission (Number 15.1) on the NDIS Bill (2024)

This is my supplementary submission (number 15.1) to the Senate Standing Committees on Community Affairs Inquiry into National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024 [Provisions] published on the Parliament of Australia website. This submission is now protected by Parliamentary Privilege.

PDF of my supplementary submission is here.

This additional information constitutes two articles published in the past few days.

The first article is persuasive for the opinions presented by two esteemed scholars, one being Terry Carney AO, whose opinions and articles held weight at the RoboDebt Royal Commission.

The first article is "Decoding the algorithmic operations of Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme" by Georgia van Toorn, Terry Carney AO. First published: 30 May 2024, in the Australian Journal of Social Issues.

Georgia van Toorn is a lecturer in the School of Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales and an Associate Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S).

Terry Carney AO is Emeritus Professor at the Law School University of Sydney, a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law and a past President (2005–2007) of the International Academy of Law and Mental Health.

Some of my work has been referenced in this article.

I believe the van Toorn/Carney article will become as widely known and as influential as the original Carney article, which was so persuasive in the RoboDebt Royal Commission.
