Hume has no problem with more debate on NDIS changes, but criticises ‘horse trading’ between Labor and the Greens

Jane Hume is speaking to RN Breakfast now, saying the Coalition has no problem with increased scrutiny over changes to the NDIS should the Greens negotiate a longer inquiry into the scheme the week.

I suppose one of our concerns is that perhaps the changes don’t go far enough in addressing the rorts and the criminal behaviour that we’ve seen embedded in the NDIS system now. We want to make sure that they are appropriately addressed.

And we also want to make sure that Australia’s most vulnerable are well cared for. And there does seem to be some oversights in there. So I have no problems with scrutiny of legislation.

It’s no surprise that the Greens have got into horse trading with Labor over this. We know exactly what it is that they do. This is their modus operandi.

I think that speaks volumes of this Labor government’s priorities.
