Australians ‘uneasy’ about NDIS cuts amid $53bn in new defence spending, Mark Butler concedes
Health Minister Mark Butler has defended a major NDIS overhaul that will limit participant numbers, conceding public unease following the government's announcement of $53bn in new defence spending. The reforms, expected to remove 160,000 participants by 2030, aim to ensure the scheme's sustainability by shifting access criteria to functional capacity, drawing criticism from the Greens and state leaders.
