I thank the Chief of Staff. I will now open matters to the floor and I am conscious that a number of members are offering. I am very pleased to welcome Senator Tom Clonan, who while not a member of this committee, is very welcome especially having regard to his own expertise and experience. I am happy to call him to contribute in due course should he have an issue to raise with the Chief of Staff but first I call Deputy Clarke.
