My only concern is that we should not allow that corporate knowledge to be lost. I agree with Senator Norris. I have never looked for permanency but it is about that second five-year term. I agree with the Minister on the need for flexibility and to invest wisely and the 3% is a considerable amount of money. However, as the Minister knows, he is getting good people. While he is right to carry out an audit, I ask that we would have flexibility because it is very difficult for people, having been out of school for five years, to go back to school again.
