The government will not be supporting these amendments. As I emphasised in the chamber before, the rate of funding growth for students with disability is quite significant. The changes that have already been agreed to during this debate have increased the support for students with disability from $20.6 billion to $21.2 billion over the next decade. As indicated, we are also supporting the review and the work in relation to the continuing improvement of the NCCD.
