I should have said 'Dr Haines', my apologies, in my previous answer. I have answered that question about the approach that I'm taking. The bill I introduced when I was in opposition was around the reporting of when ministers make decisions about the awarding of grants in their own areas or their own electorates, and the fact that that had quite a long delay in terms of that information becoming public. I have a view we should be providing more frequent reports around that. But tightening up the grants guidelines and the grants framework, working with the JCPAA, which has done quite a lot of work in this regard, and with the work the ANAO has done through its recommendations, is certainly the way through. I'm doing that work, and I'll have more to say about it shortly.
