Given the expanded powers for Efic under this bill, could you perhaps give me an outline of what specific government agencies the government wants Efic to support and how it is going to manage that support? Are there going to be more staff employed? Is there a move to decentralise where necessary? The example I give is that Efic is providing significant support to the NAIF and yet it hasn't located one staff member to northern Australia. So can you give me a sense of how you plan to operationalise Efic's increased role?
