The advice that I can give to Senator Allison is that the CEO cannot amend resolutions or advice of the council. As I mentioned in my substantive reply to you earlier on, there are processes by which the CEO operationalises his advice through guidelines and recommendations. The advice I have is that the CEO cannot amend resolutions and determinations of the council in terms of advice to the minister.
