> Greens and independent senator David Pocock have condemned the Albanese government’s proposed NDIS overhaul, warning it could enable blunt cuts to individual budgets supporting more than 770,000 Australians with disabilities. The government says tighter eligibility rules and assessments will save $37.8bn over four years, with passage possible as early as next week.
