HEADLINES: Aussie Fuel Stocks Update & Cause Of Death For Teen Found In Singer’s Tesla Revealed 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/db3bc15d-ac14-481f-8e7f-b435001ae900/transcript

The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed as a lifetime guarantee, ensuring eligible Australians receive the individualised support needed to live an ordinary life. 

In a major shift ahead of the May Budget, the government is moving to tighten spending, including a plan to remove 160,000 people from the NDIS.

But for the families who rely on this funding for therapy and essential daily support, there is a growing fear that the safety net is being pulled back before public systems are ready to catch them.

We're joined by ABC National Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella to unpack what these changes actually look like in practice and whether the NDIS can be made sustainable without leaving our most vulnerable behind.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Fuel tax cut extension could be on the cards as national cabinet get an update on Australia's fuel crisis. 
Iranian state media reports the country has seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz
The Allan Labor government unveils a nearly $138million plan to curb crime in Victoria
New Kylie Minogue documentary announced, charting the stars success and enduring legacy as a pop icon.
