Opposition leader Bill Shorten has pledged to overhaul the National Disability Insurance Scheme if his Labor Party is successful at the May 18 federal election.
Under the Coalition, Mr Shorten says the average NDIS recipient is being shortchanged $13,000, and more than 77,000 Australians with disabilities are missing out on benefits of the scheme altogether. The Labor leader has also promised to inject $2 billion into Victoria’s largest public transport project, the Melbourne Metro Tunnel, which is expected to create 7,000 new jobs.

Coalition's NDIS overhaul to include quicker assessments and longer plansA single point of contact for NDIS clients and plans locked in for three years are among changes announced by the Coalition weeks out from the election. A bit late and why should we believe them - they have done a crap job so far and taken the funding for a so called surplus. I call BS. 6 yrs trying to kill it. Now they're going to fix it? Tell that to the person who was funded for a wheel chair without wheels and the boy who is forced to get around in a wheelbarrow because NDIS funding isn't available for a wheel chair.......🙄
