I believe that is the same question I have been asked on two occasions. I again make the point that we as a government have undertaken a very thorough process, as is appropriate given the importance of these appointments, unlike those opposite, apparently. It is disappointing to see this occurring. We believe the fund should be above partisan politics—we do—and that is the way we have approached this. I make clear that I am happy to take questions in relation to the process after an appointment has been announced, subsequent to finalisation.
