My question is to the Prime Minister. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is an important reform, and in principle I support budget measures to better fund it. However, my constituents tell me the scheme has many problems. For instance, they talk about an impenetrable and impersonal bureaucracy, as well as hopeless delays with internal reviews, which leads to unnecessary distress and frustration for families. If ever there was a government program that had to be user friendly, this is it. So what will you do to better respond to community concerns? What will you do to ensure the NDIS works effectively for all people with disabilities and for their families?
