I rise to speak on the National Disability Insurance Scheme Savings Fund Special Account Bill 2016, and I do so because I feel this government is shamefully using the NDIS as a political tool rather than a tool for increased care and equality for Australians with a disability. Do not mind me saying so, because I have got one of my own that I have been raising for quite some time. It was lovely to see the member for Dobell in here giving her very tempered response, after that very 'tempered', outrageous statement from the member for Hughes, who proceeded to give us an illuminating lecture about government spending but forgot that his own government is currently in deficit to the tune of $447 billion.
