My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Families and Social Services, Senator Fifield. In the 2018-19 financial year, the coalition government oversaw a $3.4 billion underspend in the NDIS. In last night's budget it was revealed that in the 2019-20 financial year the Morrison government is banking a $1.6 billion underspend in the NDIS. Can the minister confirm that this means that 77,000 people will miss out on the NDIS this year alone?
