      If they’re adjusted down for productivity, what’s the standard productivity when everyone’s productivity is the same in an ADE? Completely absurd.

      It is disgusting indeed so why does the journalist feel the need to exaggerate in the opening line with this lie:

      People with intellectual disability are getting hourly wages that don’t even cover their bus trips to work

      The disability support pension excursion fare is $2.50 all day travel. She should just tell the story with the facts, they are bad enough.
