I thank Senator Waters for making that point. I'm not sure there was really a question in there, but to respond to it: this simply allows for consultants to be used. It doesn't mandate their use. It essentially says they can be used, and I would say, with my other responsibilities on, we have invested heavily in to the commission to ensure that it is resourced properly to do its job.
