On the same matter, the Department obviously gets these reports. Does it go through the reports? What is the sanction where high levels of non-compliance and serious concerns are found? There are people who have been in hospitality, which is a different thing, but there are others involved in this who have had no relationship in dealing with individuals. I would regard the word "speculator" as appropriate. What does the Department do to satisfy itself when it sees inspection reports? What sanctions are there to ensure it is getting what it is contracting for?
