I'll wrap up on the issue of relevance. This bill's title is the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Improving Supports for At Risk Participants) Bill 2021. It has resulted from a case of a death by neglect. I do not want to see any more deaths by neglect, no matter who they are by. That's why I wanted to make sure that that was read into Hansard today. If we are going to put restrictions upon workers in the NDIS system, we need to debate the science and we need to debate the restrictions. This subject is 100 per cent relevant to the debate. I call on other members of parliament that might disagree with me to read the science and make sure you are not falling into the trap of things that happened years ago. I thank the House.
