To get a sense of the question I am trying to ask and perhaps not articulating properly, I will better define where I am coming from. Were the main sticking points with the Department of Finance on its definitions around core and non-core? Professor McMahon might give me a characterisation of how that engagement went. I imagine there would be resistance. The Department is not blind to this. This has been a consistent and valid criticism by IFAC. I should say an informed critique rather than criticism of this Government's approach. Were some of the major sticking points on the access to information concerning the definitions of core and non-core? How did Professor McMahon find that? How would he characterise it?
