Following on from the contribution that the minister made, it would be helpful if she could indicate when the National Disability Strategy will be released, since we've had considerable delays around the implementation plan and reports emanating from the National Disability Strategy in the past under this government. I would ask that the minister respond to the questions that I asked in my first contribution—the questions regarding Tasmania and the collapse in satisfaction with the NDIS. I seek a response to those questions. Further, in regard to the Community Connectors program, why did Minister Robert, on ABC AM this morning, describe people from CALD communities as 'linguistically difficult'? Is that the government's position?
