It is the old story: the problem with socialists is that eventually they run out of other people's money, and that is exactly what has happened to this bloke. He has gone out there with his bleeding heart, talking about the NDIS, and left a great big financial hole. We are doing the hard work to pay for it—that is what we are doing—because we believe that people with disabilities need the respect of having the funding in place to pay for their government's commitments. That is the difference. Labor are big on the rhetoric and big on the promises but, when it comes to paying the bill, all they do is rack up more and more debt. That is the Labor way. It is the reckless way. It underlines why you cannot trust the Labor Party and why you cannot trust this Leader of the Opposition. He sold out the NDIS before it got started when he never put in place the funding to pay for it.

Honourable members interjecting—

The SPEAKER: Just before I call the member for Jagajaga, the members on my right will cease interjecting. The member for Ballarat is now warned, as are the members for Oxley and Hindmarsh.
