My question is to the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Senator McAllister. Your government is expected to remove billions of dollars from the NDIS tonight. This is huge. It is reported that 160,000 disabled people will be removed from the scheme, more will be blocked from getting on in the first place, and it is also reported to be the biggest budget cut from a single policy decision in over a century. The disability community is deeply anxious about these changes and the lack of transparency surrounding them. Can you tell the Senate today which cohorts of disabled people will make up the 160,000 people that your government intends to remove from the NDIS?
