Mr. Drew Harris:

In truth, I am unclear as to who I am accountable to. The board, in effect, assesses my performance so that makes me subservient to that board because it is assessing my performance on an annual basis. I also have a responsibility to the authority in terms of the performance of the organisation and then I have responsibilities to the Minister as well. Thus in effect I have a number of different bosses. I am also reporting in to the national community safety steering group. I have concerns, which are reflected in our submission, over how we deconflict this and the amount of time I am going to spend dealing with accountability bodies. That is dysfunctional in terms of leading an organisation of this scale and complexity and the complexity of the demand we are dealing with as well.
