Were they making decisions with the appropriate advice? I ask that because on page 32 of the Wright report:

There was no analysis or advice on the broader risks to the tax system from a more general downturn in economic activity from levels created in part by pro-cyclical fiscal policy. ... such analysis should have been provided and communicated forcefully to the Minister for Finance and the Government.

Did they have the information to make those decisions?
