What clout does she carry? I am conscious that she is the first woman in the job. I do not know, because I do not work in her organisation, how that was received. I imagine, given the nature, size and scale of the organisation, she probably got mixed reviews on her appointment. I am trying to establish, because she is in charge, if the Commissioner carries the level of clout required for a person who is in charge. That is what I am asking her.
