The federal government will forge ahead with legislation to try to bring the runaway National Disability Insurance Scheme under control.
Already a subscriber?The Albanese government has brushed aside calls by the states and territories to delay changes to disability funding and will forge ahead with legislation to try to bring the runaway National Disability Insurance Scheme under control.
The letter says the legislation, which the government will not release publicly until 6am on Wednesday, goes beyond what the national cabinet committed to.Advertisement Their plea received short shrift from the federal government, which needs to cut the growth rate of the NDIS to stop the budget from collapsing. It is the fastest-growing area of expenditure in the budget.
NSW Premier Chris Minns said capping federal services meant more people would need state support and the Commonwealth was yet to reveal what that would cost.“Over 10 years ago, the state effectively got out of disability services in NSW and handed it to the Commonwealth government, at request,” he said.
