Mr FRYDENBERG (Kooyong—The Treasurer) (14:15): As the member for Rankin would understand, we're fully funding the NDIS where they never did. It is a demand-driven project— Dr Chalmers interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Rankin is warned. Mr FRYDENBERG: and there are currently 300,000 Australians who are on the NDIS, 90,000 of whom are getting care for the first time. The cost of the NDIS is forecast to increase to $17½ billion in 2019-20 and then to over $22 billion in 2020-21. I think I speak for all members on this side of the House: we are absolutely committed to the NDIS. It is making a difference. It's a demand-driven— The SPEAKER: The member for Rankin on a point of order? Dr Chalmers: Yes, on relevance: the question was about how much of the improvement in the budget came from underspends in the NDIS. The SPEAKER: I'll just say that the Treasurer is being relevant to the question. Mr FRYDENBERG: The member for Rankin would understand, from when he was learning everything about economics from chairman Swan, that it is a demand-driven program and that in every MYEFO and every budget we revise the numbers. There is estimates variation. But the fact of the matter remains that we are fully funding the NDIS. There are 300,000 people who are getting access to care because we are responsible economic managers, and by bringing the budget back into surplus, back into the black, we can continue to provide the vital services that Australians need and deserve.
