this will leave a funding shortfall of $4.1 billion in 2019-20, growing to over $7 billion in future years. That is a shortfall which this government will meet. Labor claims—as is clear from the interjections of members opposite—that it 'clearly identified' enough savings that were specifically assigned to pay the other half of the Commonwealth funding requirements. That is a very clumsy attempt to rewrite history. And the claim now that there were adequate specific savings set aside to fully fund the NDIS is wrong for three reasons. First, the claim that enough savings to cover the other half of the Commonwealth spending were 'clearly identified' is not a claim that is capable of anything that resembles proper verification. When you look at Labor's actual budget papers, they did not link savings to the NDIS. And that proposition only ever appeared in a 2013-14 budget glossy.
