2nd Mar 2017, 10:19 AM – Representatives National Disability Insurance Scheme Savings Fund Special Account Bill 2016 - Second Reading - Agree with bill's main idea
Summary
EditThe majority voted to agree to the bill's main idea, which means they can now discuss it in greater detail. In parliamentary jargon, they voted to read the bill for a second time.
What is the bill's main idea?
The bill creates a special account to fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). According to ABC News, part of the $2.1 billion expected to fill the special account will come from a "crack down on the Disability Support Pension and cut[ting] off carbon tax compensation for all new welfare recipients". The Government argued that this special account is necessary because the NDIS is currently only partially funded.
But the Opposition disagrees, arguing that the NDIS is in fact fully funded and so this special account is unnecessary. They also questioned the Government's motivation for creating the account at all.
