We have to do a range of things. Governments have to do a number of things. One of them—I think quite reasonably—as we're looking at the investments we need to make in the lead-up to the Brisbane Games in particular is to look at what the optimal settings are for those investments. That is exactly why we're having the review.

I haven't seen a comparison of relocating and investment in the current location. I have not seen that work. If it has been done, I haven't seen it. That is precisely why we are having this review, which is looking at a range of areas—not only location. It's all about how best we support athletes and provide them with the facilities and investment they need so that they can do what we want them to do, which is to win gold at these events and perform to their highest standard. The review is being done to provide advice to government in a timely way.
