I know Ms Deane very well. She has done an outstanding job advocating for Australians with disability. I think many colleagues in this place have worked with Kirsten Deane. But it is completely and utterly wrong for those opposite to contend and purport that there has been funding cut from the NDIS. That is not true. All funding that is needed by NDIS participants will be forthcoming. There will not be anyone who requires support under the NDIS who does not receive that support. Every person eligible for the NDIS will receive the support to which they are entitled. Those opposite should know better than to seek to cause fear and distress among people with disabilities by misrepresenting the way the budget works. (Time expired)
