Only a week or two ago the Prime Minister, with the member for Corangamite, the Premier of Victoria and I, opened the national headquarters of the NDIS in Geelong. It was a great day and a great day for jobs for the Barwon region. Also within the last few weeks, the Prime Minister signed an agreement with the Northern Territory government for the commencement of trial sites on 1 July. The Prime Minister also, about a month ago, signed an agreement with the Premier of Western Australia for trial sites in Western Australia. Those actions, in combination with the budget announcement in relation to returning that efficiency dividend money to the scheme, are not the actions of a government that is intent on doing anything other than delivering the NDIS in full.
