The Money Puzzle · What you should be paying on your borrowings (and getting on your cash) · 21 Apr 2026 podcast

So it'll be interesting to see exactly how they opt to rein it in, clearing up some of the

I think what people would call rorts in the system is an obvious step, but I think that they'll probably need to do more tidying up to that.

Yes, it does help support jobs and it helps support people with disabilities.

It's such an important scheme, but also the significant cost of it equally can also add to inflation.

And so the government, again, is walking a very fine line here about, you know, making sure people get the support that they need, making sure that the money goes to the people that need it the most, making sure that, you know, yes, it does help people in really important jobs in our society, but equally.

that they're not overspending, they're not going to get accused of adding to the inflationary pressures.

And that's that very fine line that we're seeing right now.

I think the problem is that, you know, it doesn't matter what your income is or how much money, you know, you have in your family unit, you know, a disability is a disability and, you know, it's unfair from the outset.

So I can see the hesitation to means tested.

It could be that there's an element of means testing in there where, you know, and we see this in things like the childcare subsidy where you can claim for the childcare subsidy

up to a household income of, and I can't remember this, I'm going to go off the top of my head, but something like that.

It's a really high combined household income.

There is.

So it might be that you could introduce some elements of that, but I don't know that adheres to the principles that the Labor Party carry of fairness.

And I think that's the problem with means testing.

It's not fair in that regard.

Mind you, the Labor Party is a party that employs a large number of means tests and they've been very successful at doing so.

And, you know, this budget, maybe NDIS aside, you know, if any relief is getting handed out, it really needs to be means tested beyond the NDIS I'm talking about because if we're doing cash handouts like we've seen in, you know, pre-election budgets, you're handing over cash to people that

don't need it, that are just going to add it into their giant savings buffers and keep spending in the economy.

And again, it's back to those inflationary pressures.
