The supervisors have quite a difficult job. I have endorsed their pay claims. It is ridiculous that any sector would go for 14 years without a pay increase but I know that is not up to Mr. McKeon.
I will go back to the recovery of benefits and assistance. As outlined in Chapter 11, paragraph 11.15, of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, I do not understand why in 25% of cases the potential compensator has not engaged and the Department is seeking legal advice. When did it seek legal advice? Has it got it? What is happening?
