This really goes to the question of accountability—in particular, public accountability—because, whatever you might think of the way competition policy evolved in Australia, governments did know where they stood and the public was informed fairly promptly as to whether the benchmarks that had been set were met. I would like to add to some of the factors and matters that I raised before. This housing, particularly for the cohort of people we would be building for, would require adaptable design components and ageing in place and disability access. I would like to know whether these matters have also been formally benchmarked. I would appreciate it if I could add those items to the questions that I raised earlier about accountability, reporting, benchmarking and so on.
