My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Senator Gallagher. Autism Tasmania and Disability Voices Tasmania shut their doors this week as a result of federal funding cuts. Staff have been immediately let go, and the Tasmanians who relied on these services have been left devastated by the sudden closures. Why was funding cut for these important services, without any warning or transition period?
