If I may state the position and why it was a misrepresentation, it was a misrepresentation because, under the coalition's plan, my plan, access to 17 welfare benefits as well as future eligibility for the NDIS will be limited to Australian citizens from 1 July 2018 but existing recipients are grandfathered. We're not going to take away any welfare entitlements for someone who is already here. This is about sending a message to future migrants. Don't come to Australia if you want to be on welfare.
