Concerns from disability advocates that the government's drought relief plan would repurpose funds from the National Disability Insurance Scheme have been dismissed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
"Not one cent of funds for the NDIS is being used to support our new Future Drought Fund. The NDIS is 100% fully funded. Every cent, every dollar," Mr Morrison tweeted on Saturday.
Of the $5 billion dollar Future Drought Fund announced at the Friday summit, Mr Morrison told The Australian the initial $3.9 million dollar contribution was from Labor's Building Australia Fund - which the government had put aside for the NDIS.
