QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATERS (Queensland—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:20): This government is handing $627 million to BHP, Australia's most profitable company, and $416 million to Rio Tinto at the same time as you intend to kick 241,000 people off crucial, life-changing NDIS support. Why are you prioritising mining company handouts when disabled people are being asked to accept cuts?
