FED:Disabled people urge reflection as key report delayed

Disability advocates are calling on the Albanese government to pause its plan to rush through an overhaul of the National Disability Insurance Scheme after a major report into the changes was again delayed.

A parliamentary inquiry was due to hand down its report on June 16, before its deadline was moved forward by three days.

The report isn't expected to be published until June 23.

Labor is trying to land a deal with the Greens, which would extend the inquiry into the proposed reform in exchange for the minor party's support for the government's tax changes announced in the federal budget.

Under changes to the $56 billion NDIS, the government would kick 160,000 people off the scheme to rein in spending.
