Mr. John Barrett:
I think that is a huge question that the organisation needs to address, but under the clear guidance of what a 21st century police service needs to look like going forward. There is no doubt about it; it is not a series of happenstance or accidents that the reports of 2006, 2008 or 2010 essentially got nowhere. I refuse to believe that. I do not think that is a tenable argument.
