Thanks, Minister; it's good to know there will be further consultation. I'm hearing that people want to be consulted on the early stages of this list—in these two weeks—and would love that to be extended.

This list determines that community transport is not a NDIS support, and I'm told that this could throw a spanner in the works for so many people in communities across the country. I presume the intention is for states and territories to ensure that there are community transport services through foundational support funding. However, I'm interested to know if the ACT disability minister or any disability minister is aware that they may be on the hook to ensure these supports are available, potentially within the next few months, through foundational supports. Can you give the Senate any assurances about the work that has gone on with the relevant ministers around community transport?
