This is a collation of my writings on RoboNDIS algorithms and defective systems over the best part of the past decade.

My focus in these writings is primarily the defective systems and ungoverned defective algorithms that automate harm. Many journalists, advocates, and scholars have approached me about access to this material, and while all of it is public, the collation of the material in one repository provides ready access to commentators.

The material that has been presented in various Parliamentary submissions is protected by Parliamentary Privilege, and forms the basis of many of the articles I have subsequently written.

It is my belief, that all NDIS problems are traceable to the original sin of the unlawful fiction of ‘primary disability’, and the wormholes of defective systems and algorithms that compensate and automate this unlawfulness. Simply changing the legislation to make lawful that which is unlawful, does not remove the layers of compensating unlawfulness.

All NDIS problems are rooted in these defective systems. Everything. Fraud. Data breaches. Cyber security. The inability to accurately forecast: in fact, the inability to forecast at all. Payment defects and irregularities. Defective and unlawful data design and management.

All this is not only affecting service delivery and harming hundreds of thousands of people who depend on it, but it fundamentally undermines policy responses and options.

It’s like squeezing a balloon: exerting pressure in one area, leads to blow outs in other areas and eventually rupture. No amount of legislation reform or tweaking will overcome this.
