Turnbull government ties welfare cuts to NDIS funding
The government had already earmarked $1.6 billion from its so-called omnibus bill – which contains cuts to family payments, paid parental leave and the dole – to pay for its new streamlined childcare subsidy system.
Now in a bold bid to secure more Senate support for the measures, Treasurer Scott Morrison says the balance of the savings – about $3 billion – will be put in a “locked box” special account to fund the full rollout of the NDIS.
