Rallies are being held across the country on August 1 to oppose Labor's plans to cut $38 billion from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), reduce all participants' funding by 50% for social and community participation and a further 10% for capacity building.
These cuts make up the biggest part of Labor’s 2026 budget savings. At the same time, Labor is raising spending on the military, with an immediate $14 billion, rising to $53 billion across the next 10 years.
These are Labor’s priorities — cuts to support for some of its most vulnerable citizens to fund the military budget’s bottomless pit, including more than $360 billion for second-hand nuclear submarines. It also wants to both have its cake and eat it. While in lock step with the Coalition, it also wants to be seen as compassionate.
Labor is committed to trashing the NDIS and believes that it has sufficient passive support to do so. Only by being visible, including demonstrations on the streets and by building alliances, will people with disability build sufficient social weight to force Labor to back down.
