Jim Chalmers' economic roundtable and Mark Butler's NDIS reforms highlight the Albanese government's approach to reform. Butler aims to curb NDIS cost growth, building on previous efforts. The reforms involve alternative treatments for some children, seen as financially sound and politically strategic.
The roundtable focused on taxation, business investment, and simplifying the system. Chalmers sought support for government priorities without a specific mandate. The meeting also backed regulatory simplification.
Chalmers expressed optimism about the progress. The private setting fostered open dialogue. Danielle Wood of the Productivity Commission played a key role.
The NDIS plan shows potential for bold action. Chalmers' roundtable demonstrates inclusive incrementalism, focusing on achievable progress. The government is taking what it can get and presenting it positively.

This is a balanced approach that is the sign of a strong government.

This roundtable is just a PR stunt to make the government look good, not to actually address problems.

More bureaucratic meetings. More delays. Same old story.
