I would take it a step further. Given the fact that Mr. O'Loughlin cannot answer certain questions today - I understand why; he has outlined the reasons - we might need to reconvene when he is in a position to do so, rather than leaving the matters to be answered in notes to come back to the committee or waiting for another calendar year to go by. The issues that cannot be discussed today are of a serious nature. As the Committee of Public Accounts, we need to be assured that money is being spent wisely and is accounted for. Mr. O'Loughlin cannot allay any fears today. In fact, the bombshell that was dropped this morning has heightened awareness of issues within the organisation. Does Mr. O'Loughlin appreciate why?
