Mr McCORMACK (Riverina—Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development and Leader of The Nationals) (14:13): Funding for the NDIS is guaranteed. No Australian who is eligible for the NDIS will miss out. No Australian will miss out. I commend the minister for what he's doing. Ms Butler interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Griffith will leave under standing order 94(a). The member for Griffith then left the chamber. Mr McCORMACK: We are strongly committed to the NDIS. As I said, and as the minister said in the first question in question time today, it is one of the most important social and economic reforms in our country's history. I'm proud to say that this reform was suggested by Prime Minister Gillard, who is in Parliament House today. I saw her this morning and commended her for the work that she's doing with Beyond Blue and other organisations in her post-political career. She has been a class act, I have to say. This was a good reform. I'm proud to say that I was the first New South Wales federal parliamentarian to sign up to the Every Australian Counts campaign, which happened at the time the NDIS was first mooted. For the vast majority of the more than 300,000 participants, the NDIS is delivering improved levels of supports, more choice and more control. Over 100,000 people are receiving disability support services for the first time ever, so it's good policy reform. I have to say that, when those opposite introduced this legislation, they didn't put in the amount of money towards the NDIS that was required. We are funding the reform. We are backing the NDIS. Again I say that funding for the NDIS is guaranteed.
