I do not think that there is anyone in public life in any parliament in Australia who would have the view that anything other than a full assessment of the serious allegations should be made. The Victorian parliament has set about responding to the allegations from Four Corners and the Fairfax investigation. The Commonwealth is committed to learning the lessons of the NDIS trial sites and also committed to learning of the experiences of the state jurisdictions as the Commonwealth looks to what would be the most appropriate safeguards to put in place nationally for a full NDIS.
