I think 'the great outsourcer' is an exceptional interjection, Senator Fifield! I can advise the Senator that, in a revolutionary way, of course, as we see the result of the evolving nature of records management, we are reviewing the sort of work that existing records management staff are doing. I know that that is totally out there! I know that that is not something that those opposite could possibly deal with, because it involves efficiency and effectiveness and good service delivery. So we have records-management staff who have to respond to an increasingly digital environment, and, unlike those opposite, it is actually important to me that my staff have meaningful and important roles to fulfil. That actually makes a difference to how they are able to do their job. It makes a difference to the job that they do. So we are consulting with staff. We are consulting with the CPSU to make sure that we have consistent and up-to-date job descriptions for records-management staff. It does not matter how many lies they tell opposite— (Time expired)
