If you go back to the earlier comment, I have asked the department to investigate. I am not going to fetter them in their investigation nor am I going to direct them as to what they should or should not look at more broadly. I expect them to do a competent job, to look at the procedures and processes, particularly around the issues the Ombudsman has raised. I have confidence in the department that they will undertake the work that you have described as part of the assessment of that work—and you would expect them to do that.
