This government is 100 per cent committed to delivering the NDIS in full. We have always been committed to it; we always will be. We will see this through to completion. We will deliver it within the existing funding envelope. We have supported the concept from day one. We supported the Productivity Commission work. We supported the legislation. We are helping Australians who face extra challenges for reasons beyond their control. Can I say, Mr President, despite what came from the other side in the answer to the first question, the NDIS is an example of this parliament working at its best. The NDIS is an example of Commonwealth-state relations at their best. This is the Australian parliaments and the Australian governments lifting themselves beyond partisanship to make sure that Australians with disability get the better deal that they deserve.
