Grattan Institute criticises Labor's proposed NDIS budget cuts as 'blunt and inequitable'
By
Sarah Basford Canales
Summary
The Grattan Institute has issued a scathing critique of the Albanese government's proposed NDIS overhaul, which would slash social participation budgets for NDIS participants in half. The thinktank describes the plan as 'blunt and inequitable', underpinned by dubious logic, and warns it could lead to absurd outcomes. The proposed bill aims to curb the $50bn-a-year scheme's growth by reducing category budgets and returning the NDIS to its 'original intent'.
