Very strongly agree

Yes, but crack down on price-gouging providers rather than cutting participant plans

This aligns perfectly with Labor's rhetoric; the government has consistently emphasized that reforms target 'shonky' providers and price-gouging rather than reducing necessary supports for participants.

Agree

Yes, tighten eligibility to focus only on those with the most severe needs

While avoiding the term 'cutting,' Labor's 2024 reforms focus on 'foundational supports' outside the NDIS for those with less significant disabilities to refocus the scheme on those with the most severe needs.

Disagree

No, the economic benefits outweigh the costs by allowing carers to return to the workforce

The government acknowledges the economic benefits and workforce participation of carers, but they maintain that these benefits do not negate the need to manage the scheme's growth rate.

Disagree

No, tax mining corporations and the wealthy to fund the shortfall instead

Strongly disagree

No, disability support is a fundamental human right that must be fully funded regardless of cost
