I welcome Ms McKay and congratulate her on her appointment. I am aware she has only been in the role for a few months.

Ms McKay stated that several editors talked about the benefit of the ombudswoman's office. Would any additional powers benefit the office? She spoke about resources of the Press Council. Are resources an issue for her office?
