## Resource

The NDIS overhaul is hitting roadblocks as a Senate inquiry’s deadline keeps slipping, delaying crucial reforms aimed at slashing costs from $70 billion to $55 billion by 2031. With up to 240,000 people expected to exit the scheme and 80,000 new participants joining, Health Minister Mark Butler insists the changes are vital for human rights—but friction is rising. State ministers balk at funding key services like autism supports, and while Butler maintains a constructive federal-state dialogue, the Coalition’s backing is essential to pass the bill, with the Greens already opposed. With the Senate report now due next Tuesday, the clock is ticking on whether these sweeping changes can move forward. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
