Politics with Michelle Grattan
News:Politics
Bill Shorten, Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Government Services, has released the review of the NDIS, which recommends sweeping changes to the scheme. The reforms to come will see the states take up much of the responsibility for providing services for people with more minor issues, especially children with developmental delays.
Shorten joined the podcast to talk about the way ahead for a scheme that has run off the rails and become financially unsustainable.
