Proposed draconian 'reforms' to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

Jennifer speaks with Graham Matthews,Socialist, activist and person with disability, about the proposed reforms to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).In late March Bill Shorten, Minister for the NDIS, introduced a Bill to Parliament, projected to save over $14 billion over the next five years, while giving the government a lot more control over what can be claimed for under the Scheme into the future. The Bill took many be surprise, especially as the government is yet to respond to the NDIS review. Many people with disability are fearful about the proposed changes, and the states are concerned about the lack of arrangements for 'foundational supports' they may be expected to provide for people not eligible for the NDIS.The Bill has not been passed into law, and there is still time to influence the outcome.
