The government rejects the assertions made in this motion. The government is providing significant support to people with disabilities through disability employment services and ensuring that the NDIS is fully funded. The coalition government's policy is to ensure that only people in genuine need can access the disability support pension. Those assessed with the capacity to work are provided with significant support to find employment. It is well noted that where people have the capacity to work, gainful and meaningful employment leads to significantly better life outcomes than a life on welfare.
