          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:46):</by>  Supplementary question. While it is no secret that reform is desperately needed in the disability sector, can the minister explain why those in critical need now, particularly category one critical need (that is, at immediate risk of homelessness or harm to themselves or others), should be made to wait while the government works on those reforms?</text>

HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:46):</by>  I just explained that the government is working on those reforms right now. We are providing places right now for people and we have a plan to provide places into the future. I also explained that the unmet need list is growing exponentially across the country. Governments cannot do it on their own, and I am very pleased indeed to have been with the Hon. Jenny Macklin today when she announced more detail to our NDS conference in Adelaide this morning about what the federal government is doing to assist states with the rollout of the NDIS.</text>
