No, we have all the plans in the world. I will return to the Department. I spent 17 years there and I know it was not implemented. It has never been implemented. The last time I was briefed as a Deputy, which I think was over a year ago but I am losing track, we were told that the manager was not averse to using his emergency powers because the Traveller accommodation plan had not been complied with. That is for the Department and the agency. When I see that huge amount of money being spent on research and the plans are there, why did it not look to see why it was not being implemented or what were the implications of that?
