Just a minute, Dr. O'Connor. I accept that the three institutions were not damned in this report. What was set up with the full co-operation of the three institutions was this institution. This institution is the subject of a damning report by a panel of international experts. We have all this glossy stuff telling us about wonderful new governance. Dr. O'Connor accepts it is damning. It was confirmed when it was dissolved. As I understand, it was not dissolved from any internal recognition of problems. It was dissolved because of this review and because very good people in the institutions said it was not right.
