Thank you. The good news from the Turnbull government's rollout of a fully funded NDIS scheme is that all Australians are going to get a benefit. In addition to Australians receiving increased services or supports, the good news is that some Australians are now receiving life-changing support for the first time. In fact, there are 45,000 great examples of Australians getting these supports for the first time. This means 45,000 Australians getting the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live a better life. Often this is not just the person receiving the benefit; it's also their communities and their families. The NDIS is one of the most important social policy innovations that have been developed and implemented in Australian history, and the Turnbull government is delivering this—unlike those opposite.
