Experts can be brought in, by all means, but I do not think we can reconstitute the board. The risk would still remain that the board would not be quorate and that is the real risk that this legislation is seeking to prevent. I do not rule out the introduction of other measures and bringing in technical and other expertise, but we do need to sort one element of the risk to the board's structure. After we minimise the risk, we can deal with a variety of issues that a wider review will allow us to address. As I indicated to Senator Dooley, we will commit to doing that and be open to all the reports or other analysis the committee might forward on or share.
