The reason I'm mentioning it is that carers are very regularly, obviously, dealing with people who have disabilities and are engaging with the NDIS. This is a measure that affects carers at the same time as they are also having to deal with the changes in the NDIS. I'm simply saying that this is just another aspect of what people are having to deal with. Therefore, I think it's important to put on the record that individual pieces of legislation don't happen in isolation; they happen in the context of a whole suite of policy measures and in an ongoing situation of the very, very poor ability for people to get the information they need when they try to get it through places such as the Centrelink call centres.
