Labor Pledges to Cut 160,000 From National Disability Scheme, Bring Growth Down to 2 Percent

Labor’s Health Minister Mark Butler has taken to task his party’s handling of the multi-billion-dollar National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) ahead of the next federal budget.

“For the sake of the people the NDIS was created for, we have to make sure it’s sustainable now and for future generations,” Butler told the National Press Club in Canberra, Australia on April 22.
