Minister, I echo Senator Patrick's comments in many ways. Senator Hanson and I have been very strong in our comments because we see the need for protecting people with disabilities and supporting them, but we're afraid that the NDIS system, as it is, has been built on very poor foundations. It was a thought bubble by the Labor government to get votes—that's the way we assess it. It was never properly designed. Now it's too easily rorted and it's too bureaucratic in its control, so that the people who deserve support do not have it.

Progress reported.
