    Lol, because that’s the arbiter of truth amirite?

    Now they’ll have more budget for their own escorts.

    Not what a strawman is, btw, but don’t worry your pretty little head about it.

      I’m sorry that you have to pay 100% of your income

      Hmmm looks like that’s an argument I never made, let’s check the definition of a straw man argument.

      A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent’s argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent

      Nothing about the straw man fallacy excludes hyperbole.

      Under examples we can see

      Exaggerating (sometimes grossly) an opponent’s argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.

      Oh you thought I was talking about the very real possibility of someone wanting to commit suicide due to disability…. Tsk tsk.

      As I said right from the outset, if there is no science to say that paying for hookers is a more effective use of money than other support methods then it shouldn’t be paid for by public funds.

      No evidence, no funds, Im a happy man.

      Do try to keep up.

        You’re literally complaining how a tiny fraction of your tax that ends up in the NDIS might pay for fulfill the sexual needs of someone who otherwise wouldn’t have them fulfilled is lowering your quality of life.

        You really don’t have the grounds to fling accusations of logical fallacies around here.

          You haven’t refuted my argument in the slightest.

          Every cent I pay in taxes that are spent on something I don’t benefit from is literally money I no longer have to improve my own quality of life.
