State and territory governments say they have reached an impasse with the Commonwealth over proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Multiple outlets report that state and territory leaders warn there will be “no agreement” ahead of planned NDIS cuts. The governments’ position focuses on proposals to remove around 160,000 participants from the scheme as part of efforts to reduce spending and deliver “billions” in savings. The reports describe the state and territory response as an aggressive push-back against the Commonwealth’s approach, signalling disagreement over both the scale of the impact and the policy direction. While the sources align on the figure of 160,000 people affected and the overall claim that the Commonwealth aims to save billions of dollars, they do not provide detailed specifics on the eligibility criteria or implementation timetable within the provided text. Overall, the coverage indicates that negotiations between levels of government are strained as states and territories move to contest the proposed cuts before any final decisions are implemented.
