Listen on

Episode notes

Australians who use the National Disability Insurance Scheme are facing an anxious wait with political gridlock in Canberra. The Federal Government, Greens and Coalition have been considering post-budget measures on tax and the NDIS and there's just one sitting fortnight remaining before Parliament rises for a five-week Winter break. As negotiations continue, Tee Mitchell spoke with Dr Sam Bennett, the Disability Program Director at the Grattan Institute. Dr Bennett starts by addressing the elephant in the room which is what might happen if the proposed changes don't make it through the parliament.
