The NDIS bill is set to pass tonight after a major deal between the government and opposition, including 63 amendments aimed at fixing cost spirals and protecting vulnerable participants. While the government touts savings of nearly $40 billion over four years and new safeguards for high-needs users, critics like Senator David Pocock warn the ministerial power to slash funding by nearly 99% could lead to isolation and abuse. The Coalition also pushed through penalties for misuse of funds, and despite near-stalemate over tax changes, the bill moves forward with bipartisan backing.
