Albanese's government aims to pass bills for CFMEU administrator appointment and NDIS reform; Coalition support crucial.

Albanese's govt aims to pass two bills in Parliament this week: one to install an administrator in the CFMEU (Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining, and Energy Union) and another for NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) reform. Negotiations with the Coalition are crucial for the bills' passage. The NDIS legislation seeks to balance reform needs with the welfare of vulnerable people. The fall in iron ore prices may reduce tax receipts by $3bn over the forward estimates, impacting the budget.
