Bill Shorten expressed shock and disappointment after the Coalition and Greens joined forces to suggest a delay in passing a bill related to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Greens leader Adam Bandt accused Labor of aiming to reduce services for disabled individuals. Shorten criticized the Coalition's decision as "disingenuous" and "lazy," particularly as the bill was expected to save a minimum of $15 million per day. Despite the government services minister's call to pass the bill before the parliamentary winter break, Bandt rejected the idea, condemning Labor for allegedly advocating for cuts to services for disabled people.
