Firstly, this is in no way the end. I spoke to @billshortenmp Fri night who is keen to speak this week to look at what other outcomes from the #NDIS Jobs & Skills Summit we can immediately progress. Again, I thank him & his team for their support in getting me to the summit. 2/
Following announced Aged Pension changes, allowing older Aussies to work w/o losing their pension, I made a b-line for @JEChalmers & strongly pointed out that the economic benefits also apply to changing the DSP. He heard me & committed to work on it. I will hold him to that. 3/
