Minister, as I'm sure you are aware, the bill makes clear that those individuals who are presented with new plans, who move within, or are placed upon, new framework plans, must expend their funds in line with requirements—principally, that they expend them on an NDIS support. It's one of the main parts of the bill. My question to you is: will there be a kind of grace period, after the list is created, when people are on new framework plans as part of the 12-month transition, and also for new participants entering the scheme, where, if they inadvertently claim, or make a claim, for something that is not an NDIS support, they will not be penalised? That's the fundamental question.
