Thank you very much, Senator Bilyk, for your follow-up question. As Senator Bilyk would be well aware, it would be completely inappropriate for any of us to come into this place and start to debate the individual, personal and complex situations of an individual person's disability plan. However, I know that the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, in the other place, on frequent occasions has offered those opposite, and those opposite in the other place, a briefing on any of these issues in relation to individual cases, because he believes it is appropriate to discuss them behind the scenes. But, as I said yesterday, this is a demand driven scheme, and we will continue, like we do with many other demand driven schemes, to make sure it continues to be funded.
