I rise to speak in support of the amendment moved by Senator Steele-John's. The number of times we hear people say 'nothing about us, without us' and 'we will not do anything to disabled people without engaging them in a codesigned process', and here is the government proposing to make the biggest change to the NDIS by shutting out disabled people and not allowing them to have a say. Shame on you! And to the other members of this chamber: if you genuinely believe that people with a disability have a right to have a say in their care, you will support this amendment too.
