I will get straight into it, as those ten minutes will not be long going. I will start with Mr. Lynch. Senator Carrigy alluded to the fact that the former director general, Dee Forbes, was thrown under the proverbial bus. When I first read the statement yesterday, I was struck by a few things in terms of its timing. It came after the former director general, Dee Forbes, resigned. A lot of the blame in that statement seemed to be laid at the feet of Dee Forbes and the former CFO, who are no longer part of the executive board. I would not blame people for thinking there had been some type of concerted effort or meeting within the executive board, and possibly the board, to put the blame firmly at the feet of the people who had gone and to absolve themselves. Is that fair enough? Is that what happened?
