Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (10:40): These non-answers are embarrassing responses, showing not just contempt for the Senate but, worse still, contempt for the disability community. This is a government that made the promise of co-design on the NDIS. 'Nothing about us without us' was the promise that was made. And then, in this budget, they deliver $74 billion in cuts to the NDIS—secret cuts hidden in footnotes. Nothing about us without us? Well, this budget is a disgraceful portrayal of the disability community. I think it's important in this debate to put some of the words of those extraordinary activists and campaigners from within the disability community about what the NDIS means and why this betrayal cuts to the bone. In particular, I want to put the words on of El Gibbs— The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT ( Senator Fawcett ): Order! Senator Shoebridge, I'm afraid that the time for this debate has expired. I will now put the question that the motion moved by Senator Birmingham to take note be agreed to. Question agreed to. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Shoebridge, a point of order? Senator Shoebridge: No. I just seek leave of the house to table four paragraphs of contribution from El Gibbs, a disability activist from my home state on this matter. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: It hasn't been distributed, so leave has not been granted. Senator Shoebridge: I'm happy to distribute it. I'll seek leave again. The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I'll let you deal with the clerks later.
