I must be straight with Mr. Savage, in that there were major issues around communication and a lack of transparency on this. I can show him the evidence. I can show him letters and so on. There should have been transparency. The Department should have shown leadership and been straight and honest with farmers that there were difficulties with the processing and IT system. That bit of courtesy would have gone a long way and helped many of the public representatives here.

How much did the IT system for ACRES cost?
