Before moving on, there was a very reasonable question on the remaining ones. When can they reasonably expect to be paid? "As soon as possible" is kind of like far, far away in Neverland. Is Mr. Savage setting some kind of reasonable target? Is it his intention the Department will have them finished for the end of the month, by the end of August, before the ploughing or before the end of the year? Surely the Department has some target. I am not looking for Mr. Savage to cut a stick to beat himself with, but it is reasonable that the Department have some ambition or some kind of target it can tell people they will realistically be paid by.
