Response to David Griffiths and Milton Mayes

May 15, 2026

I thank David Griffiths and Milton Mayes for their letters criticising my article NDIS: the way forward on the grounds of ‘privatisation, profit and corporate entity’. These were never my intent. I am not suggesting privatisation or profit at all. The comments reflect a misunderstanding of my article which means the article was not sufficiently well written in the first place. What I was endeavouring to convey was a corporate mindset through which the NDIA maintains close control over its business (not currently the case), and use of ’the tools’ corporations use (advanced systems, extensive, real time data collection) to achieve this.
