2026/04/24

This week, the Albanese government moved to rein in the NDIS, making a hard political argument that one of the most impactful reforms in recent memory now has to be smaller to survive.

And in the first electoral test for the reshaped right, there may be signs that One Nation’s surge in the polls has reached its limit

The government says the NDIS has drifted too far from its original purpose, has grown too fast and too loosely, and that it now needs a major reset. Health Minister Mark Butler says the changes, which will see eligibility tightened, participants reassessed and 160,000 people booted from the NDIS are about making the scheme sustainable and pulling it back to the people it was originally designed to support. But for people with a disability, families and carers, the language has done little to calm
