The Weekend Read: Carrie Tiffany on sugar, family and loss

This week, the Albanese government moved to rein in the NDIS, making a hard political argument that one of the most impactful reforms in recent memory now has to be smaller to survive. In Canberra, a Senate hearing pressed on another pressure point: whether, at a time of global instability and rising costs, Australia should be getting more from its gas exports.

And in the first electoral test for the reshaped right, there may be signs that One Nation’s surge in the polls has reached its limit. 

Today, contributing editor at The New Daily, Amy Remeikis, on what this week reveals about Labor, the right and the pressure on both.

NDIS shrinks, gas profits soar, and One Nation takes a hit: the week in politics

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/aeaf9292-163f-47b8-a99c-b436003d628a/transcript

The government says the NDIS has drifted too far from its original purpose, has grown too fast and too loosely, and that it now needs a major reset.

Health Minister Mark Butler says the changes, which will see eligibility tightened, participants reassessed and 160,000 people booted from the NDIS are about making the scheme sustainable and pulling it back to the people it was originally designed to support.

But for people with a disability, families and carers, the language has done little to calm anxiety – because this is just not a crackdown on fraud and dodgy providers. It's a change to who gets support, how that support is judged and what happens to people who no longer meet the new test.

Today, Australian Autism Alliance co-chair Jenny Karavolos on the government's NDIS overhaul and why it's causing so much apprehension across the community.

“Confusion and distrust”: The disability community on the NDIS overhaul

It’s not often politicians are taken to task by regular Australians on the issues that fill them with rage.

But that’s exactly what happened at this week’s senate inquiry into taxing Australia’s gas companies for their windfall war profits. 

Konrad Benjamin, a former high school teacher, gave evidence at the hearing – and he didn’t hold back

The self proclaimed “citizen’s lobbyist” is making headlines around the country.

Today in a special bonus episode, founder of Punter’s Politics Konrad Benjamin on why he thinks gas companies are ripping off Australia – and the government is letting them get away with it.
