We are back where we started. At the beginning of your questioning I drew your attention to clause 41. Your claim is not correct, Senator Joyce. I do not know whether you are forgetting the response I gave to the first question—that is, that it is in clause 41. Then I went through and gave you an outline of the process and the individuals involved. I also gave you the background of Dr Laker, to my knowledge. I think we have fully answered the question. I do not see this process as being any different from the appointments to most boards that I am familiar with in the Commonwealth government sector.
