Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I will take that as a kind of 'yes'. Given that the head of the financial systems inquiry is David Murray, who was CEO of the Commonwealth Bank from 1992 to 2005, does the government acknowledge there is a conflict of interest in Mr Murray being asked to provide advice on the need for a royal commission to which he may be called as a witness or may be potentially implicated in?
