Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
The Grattan Institute has issued a scathing critique of the Albanese government's proposed NDIS overhaul, which would slash social participation budgets for participants by half. The thinktank describes the plan as "blunt and inequitable," "underpinned by dubious logic," and warns it could lead to "absurd" outcomes. The government's NDIS bill aims to curb the $50bn-a-year scheme's growth by reducing category budgets and returning the scheme to its "original intent," but faces significant criticism over its approach.
