Paring out the political rhetoric from the honourable member's question, his constituent faces, clearly, a large number of very serious conditions, and his mother clearly has an enormous challenge in caring for him, and we care for her. We care for her. That is why we are rolling out the NDIS across the country.

The matter that he raises is an important one, because I can say that, just as fairness is an absolutely critical, essential element in our economic plan, so too is compassionate love a key part—the key part—of everything we do in terms of caring for those people who are ill or are disabled. I will ask the minister who has the carriage of this portfolio to expand on this answer to your question.
