Returning to the matter at hand, as I've said a number of times now—not just here today but also in the media on several occasions over the last couple of weeks—I'm not happy about how the BOM has handled this matter. We do have a new CEO in place who brings a very strong record in managing large, complex science based organisations. I have confidence that he will, as I have requested, get to the bottom of what has happened here to ensure that taxpayers' money is spent wisely, whether it be by this government or by former Turnbull government ministers when they signed off on these contracts in the first place.
