We often hear about new policies and programs that promise to improve the lives of Australians. But what about the issues that are too stigmatised, too taboo, too awkward for policymakers to address? In this new series, the 'Too Hard Basket', we dive deep into topics affecting Australians who often don't get a voice. There's shame, there's stigma, and there are swathes of secrecy, leaving these stories often untold.

Disability advocates say NDIS reforms were developed without consultation
Australia's Parliament has approved new laws that govern the operation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Minister Bill Shorten has also published a list that outlines what NDIS funding can and cannot be spent on from now on. But disability advocates say all of this has been "rapidly" developed with next to no engagement with the sector - and it might not even solve the problems it's supposed to address. In this episode of the Too Hard Basket, we take a closer look at what the changes are, and why disability groups are so concerned.
