The fight to Protect our NDIS from Labor's cuts is ramping up before the budget! Everyone is welcome to join this action!
Everyone should live with dignity. The NDIS was intended to be a structural commitment to dignity, autonomy, and inclusion. Reducing it to a line item in a budget ignores the reality of what it enables: people living full, self-directed lives. For many participants, even small reductions in support can mean the difference between independence and isolation.
Labor is trying to use disabled people as a scapegoat to slash vital NDIS funding to balance the upcoming Budget. The NDIS isn’t a cost to cut. Investing in disabled people strengthens communities and the entire economy.
Labor has choices. They could tax the wealth of the top 1%, tax gas exports, or make big corporations pay their fair share. Instead, they’re choosing to cut the NDIS — because they believe disabled people are an easier target.
Together, we can rally in solidarity alongside disabled people who have long have had to fight for their rights.
