Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Advocates warn that the Albanese government's proposed overhaul of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) could push exhausted families into deeper crisis and increase their interactions with child protection services. A Senate inquiry into the changes has received over 4,000 written submissions and is holding three days of public hearings. The reforms aim to make the $50 billion NDIS more sustainable amid concerns about its rapid growth and loss of public support.
