About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming changes to the NDIS and features an interview with a disability affairs reporter.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed as a lifetime guarantee, ensuring eligible Australians receive the individualised support needed to live an ordinary life.  In a major shift ahead of the May Budget, the government is moving to tighten spending, including a plan to remove 160,000 people from the NDIS. But for the families who rely on this funding for therapy and essential daily support, there is a growing fear that the safety net is being pulled back before public systems are ready to catch them. We're joined by ABC National Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella to unpack what these changes actually look like in practice and whether the NDIS can be made sustainable without leaving our most vulnerable behind. 🗞️ HEADLINES Fuel tax cut extension could be on the cards as national cabinet get an update on Australia's fuel crisis.  Iranian state media reports the country has seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz The Allan Labor government unveils a nearly $138million plan to curb crime in Victoria New Kylie Minogue documentary announced, charting the stars success and enduring legacy as a pop icon.   📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news…
