First, if I could correct something I said in my first answer, what I should have said is that the Attorney-General has met Ms Burney and the Northern Territory Attorney-General in relation to this matter.

The advice I have is that the view of the Attorney-General is that the board needs to show leadership when it comes to family violence and that we all have a responsibility to lead by example.

In relation to funding—I'll take Senator Ruston's interjection—the expectation of the government is that all organisations funded by the NIAA are to uphold high standards of governance and financial management.
