I reject the premise upon which the question is based, and I also reject the conclusion that Senator Moore reaches. Let me point out in relation to New South Wales, since that has been the jurisdiction most often quoted of late, that only a matter of a couple of months ago I signed an agreement with the New South Wales Minister Ajaka to roll out the NDIS beyond the existing Hunter trial site in Western Sydney. That will be the first location where the NDIS rolls out beyond the existing trial sites for 2,000 young people with disabilities in Western Sydney, and that will commence very shortly. That is great news. I do not think anyone who has witnessed me in this portfolio, or the government over the last two years in this portfolio, would genuinely question our commitment to deliver the NDIS in full.
