My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, the NDIS is obviously a great reform, but, just as obviously, too many people trying to access the scheme are hitting a bureaucratic brick wall. For example, there's a long wait to get an NDIS planner and there are problems staying in touch with the planner once you get one and difficulties understanding the finished plan. Moreover, reasonable requests are too often denied. And it's especially telling that the NDIA is spending $10 million a year on legal battles to try and stop people getting funding—fights it's often losing. Prime Minister, what will you do to fix the NDIS?
