I will return to recruitment and workforce planning. When there is an allocation at budget time, the public expects a better service. I return to the whistleblower who recorded. We do not concern ourselves with how we get information, just the substance of the information. The recruitment targets were described as "batshit" by officials in the Department. What was Mr. Reid's reaction? Was he surprised at the nature of that conversation? What was the reaction? We all know that big organisations circle wagons. Did Mr. Reid satisfy himself about the substance? The other thing was about the sloppiness of the financial reporting. We did see a prior year adjustment announced after that. How did Mr. Reid deal with that?
