I certainly do not dispute that COAG plays that coordinating role and an information collecting role but, with the spending of taxpayers’ money on this scale, I would be disappointed if data were not later made available to the public, through the parliament, on whether the benchmarks on the different factors that I have identified are being met. So I seek further information on whether this will be left to COAG or on whether there has been some thinking on that on behalf of the government.
