He would have signed up a long time ago if Gillard had listened to him in the first place and agreed to an increase in the Medicare levy to help pay for it. 

The only reason he is agreeing to it now is because Gillard "changed her mind" 

To call this a win for Gillard is a joke... 

successful implementation of a policy as good as this is not a joke. its a triumph.

Agree with Lakeland looks like a triumph to me.

bravo gillard!

It sounds like you really have something against Gillard.

The joke is not on Gillard.

What happens to Abbott's no confidence motion now the states have signed up and he has said he will support the policy?

Queensland is expected to sign up to the National Disability Insurance Scheme today, leaving Western Australia as the only state yet to join.

I don't like to say "I told you so." but I predicted this, right from the start, when nobody signed up on the dotted line at the premiers meeting I said' it's like Union negotiations - nobody ever accepts the first offer.'

I think Barnett will be forced by public opinion to sign up eventually - but he does love to make himself look important on the national stage.

Queensland has signed.   😄
