Indeed, Senator Abetz is right; Senator O'Neill is clearly still not listening to the facts, and the facts of the matter are that this government is delivering. We will deliver a policy that will stand the test of time.

The senator wants to talk about stunts like trying to table reports in Senate estimates. Every member in this place knows that there is no role for the tabling of documents like that in Senate estimates. If the senator wants to release a document, she can release a document however and wherever she wants. This government is not interested in stunts from those opposite. We are interested in delivering support for students with a disability. We are interested in making sure that, just as Senator Fifield and the government deliver on the NDIS, we deliver the loadings that were promised in a way that will stand the test of time and deliver to families and students the assistance they need. This government will fix it, we will deliver it, we will make sure this policy is implemented. (Time expired)
