Daniel James

Is that something we should take seriously or does it look more like a pullback after unusually high numbers for Pauline Hanson?

Could it be, Amy, that Angus Taylor's pitch to the One Nation flank on the issues of immigration and so-called Australian values may have actually struck enough of a chord with traditional Liberal voters who have been flirting with One Nation to return to the party?

Let's go to that, Amy.

You're in Sorrento right now, which is at the very end of the Nepean electorate, and there is a Victorian state by-election coming up next weekend there, in which One Nation is taking on the Liberals, ostensibly.

What's the vibe like down there amongst the Puffer Jackets and Range Rovers?

Well, Amy, the times, they are changing, but at the same time, they're staying exactly the same.

Thank you for joining us again and giving us a breakdown of the work in politics.

7am is a daily show from Solstice Media.

It's made by Atticus Bastow, Arielle Richards, Chris Dengate, Crystal Culler, Nicole Johnston, Travis Evans, Zoltan Fetcho and me, Daniel James.

Our theme music is by Ned Beckley and Josh Hogan of Envelope Audio.

Thank you for listening to 7am this week.

Have a great weekend.

The government says the NDIS has drifted too far from its original purpose, has grown too fast and too loosely, and that it now needs a major reset.

Mark Butler says the changes, which will see eligibility tightened, participants reassessed and 160,000 people booted from the NDIS, are about making the scheme sustainable and pulling it back to the people it was originally designed to support.

But for people with a disability, families and carers, the language has done little to calm anxiety.

Because this is not just a crackdown on fraud and dodgy providers.

It's a change to who gets support, how that support is judged, and what happens to people who no longer meet the new test.

I'm Daniel James, and you're listening to 7am.

Today, Australian Autism Alliance co-chair Jenny Caravolos on the government's NDIS overhaul and why it's causing so much apprehension across the community.

It's Friday, April 24.
