Episode Explosive claims: NDIS Frauds Are Trafficking People With Disabilities
Tonight on Karl Weekly:
Bombshell allegations inside the NDIS.
Bill Shorten joins alongside Drew Pavlou to respond to growing claims of fraud and exploitation within the system — including allegations vulnerable Australians are being targeted to access payments.
Who’s really to blame?
Participants — or the “shonks” exploiting the scheme?
Then — decorated Australian soldier Heston Russell speaks out.
From leading commandos in Afghanistan to fighting battles back home, Russell opens up on the treatment of veterans — and why he believes the country is failing those who served.
Plus: Queensland crime outrage and “restorative justice” debate
ISIS brides returning to Australia
