Benchmarking: Motion.
It is important that Senator O'Toole, on behalf of ICTU, said this evening that in the event that the modernisation and flexibility that has been agreed is not delivered, the money should not be paid. I agree that should be the case. Those of us who argue for more public spending and who want to improve public services must look hard at the experience of the past two or three years when more money has been spent with little verifiable impact in terms of the improvement of services. The fact that the verification process will be more open is hugely important.
