This doesn't even add up. Although you used 'most' in the sentence so it could work if most <=0 .

This doesn't add up either. The NDIS scheme is a good thing long overdue but they should have planned it ahead and years ago when they still had money.

Ought to pay? That is the issue in my eyes. You can't make the big ones pay more. It doesn't promote growth. It's biting the hand that feeds you. Big businesses produce. Gvts spend.
