Anti-immigration protests, dramatic NDIS changes + camping to get through uni placement

Violence broke out in Belfast after a man was stabbed and police arrested a Sudanese man on "suspicion of attempted murder". There have been violent anti-immigration protests in the UK broadly, in South Africa too and then there was the March for Australia protests earlier this year. So, is there a link in the anti-immigrant sentiment being seen in some countries?

Plus, if the government's new NDIS bill passes, about 300,000 people could either be removed or prevented from accessing the scheme over the next four years. How will that impact people with disability? And what needs to happen for this bill to pass?

And, mandatory unpaid placements are still leaving many uni students vulnerable — some are literally sleeping in swags to get through their mandatory placement.
