Qld govt seeks quick release of NDIS funds

Queensland's government wants Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to release NDIS funding to the state more quickly.

Treasurer Curtis Pitt says the former Abbott government was determined to ration National Disability Insurance Scheme funding, but he's optimistic the new Turnbull government will quickly release the funding.

"We actually do need to see those funds released up front ... so I'd like to see that that might be a shift in (federal government) policy," he told a BDO business breakfast on Wednesday.
