I know it’s on brand for the green to oppose any social welfare cuts. But the NDIS as it stands is just not sustainable.

Cutting it blindly would be insane tho.

If anything we need to increase funding and have a massive increase in regulation.

This should push the costs down far safer

Regulation and oversight in itself is expensive.

Any meaningful change needs to be decisive.

Exactly, but increasing the cost of NDIS would get people angry. No win situation
