As related to my previous answer, Senator Cash, as I've said, the direction must be of a general nature. If you read section 3A, you will note that the direction must relate to the performance of OPC's functions as outlined in section 3 of the OPC act, so the general direction relates to those functions. These functions cover drafting proposed laws, amendments and subordinate legislation, as well as publishing current and proposed laws. So the general direction would relate to those functions as outlined in the OPC act.
