Mr. David Moloney:
The management of that is a matter for individual Departments and individual Accounting Officers. With regard to the engagement people have around sanctioning requests, there is a very clear view in my Department that contracts of indefinite duration should be avoided. That is a conversation that often happens in relation to CEO renewals or applications for CEO renewals. Where somebody was seeking sanction from my Department to reappoint an existing CEO, we would ask a number of questions about it. One of those questions would be on the potential to create a contract of indefinite duration.
