Okay, but I have one last question about head 8 and the chair. The IRG recommendations used language like, "No relationship with military organisations is vital" while also recommending that an ordinary member have experience with "an overseas Defence Force or defence department which has successfully undertaken significant transformation". I am trying to get a sense of the Minister and the Department's reading of that recommendation. Does "No relationship with military organisations is vital" exclude somebody with that experience from being the chair or simply stating it is not a prerequisite? Should the legislation make it clear which it is we are setting out?
