Crossbench senators call Labor's NDIS overhaul "too far, too fast" as bill heads to Senate

Crossbench senators including David Pocock called Labor's NDIS overhaul "too far, too fast" in a scathing Senate inquiry report on 14 August 2026. Labor and the Coalition both support the bill in principle, but the government still needs crossbench votes in the Senate. The Greens' Jordon Steele-John separately branded the cuts "out of line with Australian values."
