‘THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN’ | NDIS, Tax & Regional Childcare Crisis
About this episode
This episode discusses the backlash against NDIS funding cuts, tax changes proposed by Labor, and the challenges faced by families in regional childcare.
SKIP AHEAD: NDIS Cuts & Drew Pavlou: 5:05 Derek Francis: 17:46 Regional Childcare Crisis: 41:56 This week on Karl Weekly. Parents across Australia say they’re being blindsided by NDIS funding cuts, with some families reporting support packages slashed by up to 80 per cent. After hundreds of messages flooded in, Karl examines the growing backlash and speaks with Drew Pavlou about the growing anger surrounding the scheme. Then former NSW Parliamentary Budget Office chief economist Derek Francis takes aim at Labor’s proposed capital gains tax changes. He argues the Treasury’s modelling is wrong and warns young Australians will be hit hardest. Plus childcare advocate Sarah Secker joins Karl to expose the reality facing regional families, with some parents forced to drive more than 100 kilometres just to access daycare. And Karl reacts to a bizarre moment between Anthony Albanese and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, a controversial visa ruling involving a convicted rapist, and the latest developments in the Senate inquiry into NDIS reforms. NDIS fury. Tax backlash. Childcare failures. This is Karl Weekly.
