NDIS shrinks, gas profits soar, and One Nation takes a hit. The week in politics

This week, the Albanese government moved to rein in the NDIS, making a hard political argument that one of the most impactful reforms in recent memory now has to be smaller to survive.

In Canberra, a Senate hearing pressed on another pressure point – whether, at a time of global instability and rising costs, Australia should be getting more from its gas exports.

And in the first electoral test for the reshaped right, there may be signs that One Nation’s surge in the polls has reached its limit.
