I might be able to help you: it's around $2 billion a year in administration costs. Minister, do you know how many people are actually on the board of the NDIS? There are board members, plus the CEOs and the DCEOs—I calculate that there are 22 on it. The chief executive officer receives $587,241. Board members receive approximately $85,000, $98,000 and $102,000. Then you've got other members on the board. There is the DCEO, Participants and Planning Experience, and the DCEO Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer. You're looking at $453,000 for one and $431,000 for the other one. The head of People and Culture receives $481,000. Minister, who determines the remuneration that is paid to these board members and others that hold these positions? Is it government or is it the board members themselves, and what category do they come under?
