Whilst I'm not going to deliver a dissection of exactly what the minister said, what I can say is that this government is absolutely committed to making sure that the rollout of the NDIS is fit for purpose and is delivering the best possible outcomes for the people who we seek to assist with the NDIS. They are people who live with disability, the very people whose amazing contributions to Australia—particularly to our society—we celebrate internationally today.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will require a very integrated rollout across the whole of Australia. This is not just for people who live in cities. We are ensuring that we reach people with disability who live in regional, remote and rural communities, which is something we are absolutely committed to.
