Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:41): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: Many people with disability want to participate fully in the social and economic life of our community. To enable them to do so, the government provides a range of payments and targeted supports, including the disability support pension, the National Disability Insurance Scheme and concession cards. The assessment process for DSP is an application for access to a pension for an extended period of time—usually many years. It is appropriate that the process is rigorous to ensure consistency and equality and ensure support goes to those who need it. Question agreed to.
