Fantastic. It's great to hear that everybody, hopefully, will be in the same room. I want to go back to the answer given by the minister to my question. It was detailed, and I do appreciate that. I'm wanting to get clarification on what she said around making sure that we cover the gaps and have those conversations effectively.

I'm seeking to get this very clearly from you: when the government talks to states and territories about these issues, do you enter with the hope of achieving a disability system generally, and an NDIS process specifically, where there is maintenance of an acknowledgement that there's a need to co-deliver certain aspects of it and work together to make it work? Or is it the government's aspiration to eventually arrive at a position where it's broadly acknowledged that disability, in terms of the NDIS, is solely a responsibility of the federal government, and making that work and resolving problems around the NDIS isn't something that needs to be top-order priority for states and territories?
