NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:41): A further supplementary to the same minister: if the amount in cash and in kind is yet to be worked out, as the minister has just told the house, how is the budget impact to be calculated if you do not know how much is being provided for by way of cash payment and how much is being provided by way of in-kind services?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:41): The answer to that I think takes us into territory which will be canvassed very thoroughly in the context of the budget papers.

The Hon. I.F. Evans interjecting:

The Hon. J.R. RAU: No, the question that was asked there was about the particular budgetary implications rather than what we have signed up for with the commonwealth. In a very short space of time the Treasurer will be presenting this house with the government's budget.
