NDIS Bill Showdown: Exclusive Interview with Senator Jordon Steele-John

In this episode of NDIS Insights with Dr George, Dr George Taleporos speaks with Senator Jordon Steele-John about the latest developments in the fight over the Government’s NDIS Bill. After huge pressure from people with disability, families, advocates and providers, the Greens secured some protections in the Bill the Senate inquiry has been extended by eight weeks. Senator Steele-John explains what changed, what protections the Greens secured, and why he believes the Bill still needs to be scrapped. This conversation covers the major risks in the Bill, including broad ministerial powers to cut supports, automated decision-making, treatment requirements before NDIS access, support ratios, and the risk of people being pushed back into unsafe and undignified support arrangements. George and Jordon also discuss what happens next, how the disability community can keep up the pressure, and why the next eight weeks matter. This is an important conversation for people with disability, families, supporters, advocates, providers and anyone who cares about the future of the NDIS.
