I welcome Ms Buckley and the other witnesses. Her approach to today and to her new role is very welcome. I appreciate her frankness and honesty, or being as much as she can be at this point. I think she realises the scale of the challenge ahead of her in terms of the reputational damage to the board that has unfortunately dogged it for the past 12 months, if not before that. I am going to get to the two-person board meetings that were taking place because that is something I honed in on the last time the board was before us. The number of reviews and reports seems quite mind-boggling from where we are sitting because there are quite a few under way, both internally and externally. Ms Buckley touched on some of it in her opening remarks. To recap and summarise, how many internal and external reports or reviews are currently being done with the board?
