I can give the Senator an assurance on that. Section 22 amends section 21 of the 1992 Act as follows: "[S]uch person having relevant experience in relation to radiological protection as the Minister shall appoint." In other words, the person who takes up that role in future will have to be knowledgeable about radiological protection and will be a director of the organisation. There will always be five directors and the radiological protection director must have radiological knowledge. There will be no deficit of knowledge in terms of his or her capacity to do the job.
