Senator Collins, you have given me the opportunity to tell you about some of the government's many, many achievements. Let me continue. And if we want an extension of time, I am sure—we are building stronger communities. We began the rollout of the NDIS on 1 July this year. The NDIS, which was just an unfunded idea during the period of the government, of which you were a member, is now going to become a reality on our watch. We introduced Senate voting reforms to ensure that the Senate voting system was unable to be gamed, and as a result we have a more representative Senate.

And of course, Senator Collins, to close question time where we began, we have today announced that there will be a plebiscite on 11 February next year so that we can bring marriage equality to the Australian people.

I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
