It is my purpose to ask questions. We are here to oversee governance and procedures. We are not here to ask people whether their job is tenable. That is not our role. Our role is to see whether procedures are in place. I am not reassured by Mr. Connaghan's approach on procedures. The State Claims Agency has said certain matters were not recorded in the way suggested. Mr. Connaghan saw fit to call the relevant people together. Mr. Connaghan did not attend the meeting. There are no minutes of the meeting. That does not represent good governance or accountability for someone who is in charge, does it?
