The government will be opposing this motion. The Senate's powers to order production of documents are important but should not be used to upend ordinary and responsible policy processes. Professor Ducket undertook a thorough review which included a comprehensive consultation with the disability community, NDIS participants, their families and service providers, therapy providers and the broader community. The NDIA board has committed to releasing the report in full, along with the agency's response, to minimise uncertainty and disruption. This motion contains an unreasonable timeline that seeks to compel the release of the report before that work is completed.
Question agreed to.
