Gotta love the eugenics by balance sheet approach of the Labor Government #NDIS

Just appalling to be cutting #NDIS & refusing to raise JobSeeker levels & at same giving out tax cuts & corporate welfare: Guardian News: States on edge about NDIS cuts as Chalmers flags they will be ‘easily the most important’ part of budget savings https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/apr/20/ndis-funding-cuts-labor-chalmers-budget-savings #Australianpolitics #Disability #Health #Discrimination #AusPol

States on edge about NDIS cuts as Chalmers flags they will be ‘easily the most important’ part of budget savings

Government sources in multiple states say they are worried about the breadth of the changes and possible costs

The only way this can save money is if participants are forced & unable to use as many supports as currently using. They are cutting supports to participants without being honest about it. They simply don't have the funding,resources & time to register & approve all the providers that would be required to continue providing supports to everyone! #NDIS #AusPol #Disability #Discrimination https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-19/ndis-unregistered-providers-6b-savings-price-reform/106571188

Crackdown on unregistered NDIS providers coming in bid to save $6b a year

NDIS Minister Mark Butler will announce reforms to the disability scheme on Wednesday that will aim to save more than $6 billion a year by 2035 — and the largely unregulated market of NDIS providers is at the top of his reform list.

I’m sure #marles is doing the #ndis attack drops so no one looks closely on the billions that defence gets rorted.

It's so weird how billions toward disabled people = costs must be cut. However, 184 billion to billionaires for fossil fuel use, which kill people + planet? Cool, cool. #NDIS #AusPol #Diesel

They should be recommending dropping them entirely & doing proper co-design which the Agency has always refused/failed to engage in: Government advisory group recommends delaying NDIS 'robo' changes https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-17/government-advisory-group-recommends-delaying-ndis-changes/106576188 #PeopleWithDisability #Disabilities #NDIS #Disability #AusPol #AI

Government advisory group recommends delaying NDIS 'robo' changes

The federal government has been urged by its own NDIS advisory group to delay the rollout of a controversial new way of determining support plans for participants.

Second automated email from NDIS saying my query has been progressed. I wonder if there are any humans involved yet? #NDIS #disability

Australia just rebranded disability cuts as a "sustainability taskforce." Let's be clear: no amount of bureaucratic language makes cutting support for disabled people okay. Disabled Australians rely on these services to live, work, and participate in society. This is not sustainability — it's austerity with better PR. https://cripminds.com #a11y #Accessibility #DisabilityRights #NDIS #Australia

Just applied to access the NDIS for the second time. It’s taken 6 months to get materials together. The process is a cruel and unusual punishment itself, on top of having to deal with multiple functional impacts due to my acquired disabilities. #NDIS #disability
