One of the reasons we need a NACC is that there are too many jobs for the boys. People cycle in and out of politics and corporate Australia. One moment they are the minister; the next moment they're a lobbyist for the defence industry. One moment they're the Treasurer or the finance minister, and the next moment they're working for one of the major merchant banks. Surely, when it comes to the NACC, we can agree that at least in this one place there shouldn't be jobs for the boys, that there shouldn't be a revolving door that takes you from politics into the NACC. Surely, we can agree on that.

Question negatived.
