The JCPAA has held two public hearings in support of an inquiry, and they were on the 20th and 21st. The government are aware that a number of smaller agencies have made submissions to the JCPAA inquiry, including agencies like the APSC, the ANAO and the Ombudsman. So the government will review the report of the JCPAA carefully and consider any recommendations that it may make. However, the government are also confident that all of our agencies will be able to deliver the outcomes we require within whatever financial constraints the government believe are necessary and appropriate.
