Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says a Coalition government will seek to make savings by cutting back on NDIS, aged care and childcare, as he argues spending on the schemes is out of control.
“The key thing we need to do to address the problem of inflation is to get government spending down. The problem we’ve got at the moment is the government keeps stoking inflation by spending at a state and a federal level, and as a consequence, it’s forcing the hand of the Reserve Bank, which is leading them to these increases in interest rates,” he told ABC’s News Breakfast.
Wilson said the schemes were “honey pots for people to raid”.
“The National Disability Insurance Scheme, home aged care packages, and other schemes, like we’ve got phantom children enrolled in childcare. Those schemes need to be controlled.”
He could not say how much money might be saved by taking this approach or what areas of the schemes he would seek to cut.
The government made sweeping changes to the NDIS in its May budget, which will save $37.8 billion over the next four years.
