I thank the Minister for attending. Have the issues that gave rise to the differences at board level been resolved or are we still in a process of identifying their resolution? Are we clear on what the governance will be at this point? That was investigated in the past and I heard Senator Kyne say there was a problem for the board implementing it because it was not quorate to meet and discuss the issues. Are we clear that we have the governance model at this point or is that still a matter for further investigation by the two interim members? I wish to get an understanding of what issues remain to be resolved, in the Minister's view, and how we are going to get beyond this to a new position where we can appoint, in the normal manner, a board and have confidence there will be effective governance of the agency.
