I mean no disrespect to the witnesses because they are gracious every time they appear before the committee. When we try to get answers, however, we are always told by the relevant Minister that it is the CRU is accountable to the committee. For this reason, we cannot get answers from the Minister. The reason members always have a raft of questions when the CRU appears is that we cannot get them answered elsewhere.

A mistake was made and not picked up for 12 years. There are learnings from that for everybody involved. Given that the committee is the entity that is supposed to hold the regulator to account, would it make sense for the CRU to at least present those findings or whatever that report will be to us in August? That would allow us have some engagement on the basis of what the CRU finds and where we could make improvements as opposed to merely producing a report.
