I have a brief question because this is an important issue. There will always be marginal calls. Has a dispute resolution procedure been established to deal with such calls? In a case where various Departments are kicking the ball over to other Departments, does one Minister bang heads until one Department agrees to assume responsibility for the matter? There may be 15 Departments but there is only one Government. Without such a mechanism, responsibility will move from Billy to Jack forever, as I observed.
