NDIS Fraud Is Exploding — And No One’s Stopping It

This episode of The Karl Stefanovic Show dives into what could be one of the biggest scandals in Australia right now — the NDIS.Journalists Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogolous reveal what they’ve uncovered on the ground — from empty “NDIS provider” storefronts in places like Lakemba and Bankstown, to a system they claim is being exploited at scale.They say the numbers don’t add up. In some areas, nearly 1 in 15 people are registered providers. Businesses with no visible services. Shops with no clients. And when questioned? Aggression, silence, or being told to leave.Karl calls it what it is — a national issue.The NDIS is now one of the fastest-growing parts of the Australian economy — outpacing even Medicare. But where is the money actually going?The boys say they’re willing to risk everything to expose it.This is raw, confronting, and raises serious questions about accountability, oversight, and who’s really paying the price.Watch now.A HUGE thanks to the legends at R5.
