With the National School Resourcing Board, will there be that level of accountability where the chair of the board or a senior member of the board will be required to appear at Senate estimates? That is three times a year where there will be that level of accountability, and of course there is nothing to stop the references or legislation committee insisting that they appear more regularly in respect of their very important work.

I want to acknowledge the good grace of Senator Collins in this very long debate. If she were out there as a barrister I think she would get lots of briefs, because she is on top of this brief and she has been very assiduous.
