I can see the logic of it, but I'm not in favour of this.
I had a brief conversation with my colleagues. I think they are in agreement with me, for similar reasons to those mentioned by Mr. Turner. This would impose a fairly heavy level of bureaucracy and process on top of us when there are other issues to discuss.
Perhaps I'm guilty of sounding as if we're still the government. I'm aware that we're not, but I am concerned as a matter of public policy that we want to get the very best people we can to serve on boards, whether we're government or opposition. These positions pay very little money, so we're really asking people to do this as a public service. To impose additional burdens on such people, who are willing to come forward, I don't think is in the interests of getting able people to do these important jobs.
My feeling is that the amount of bureaucracy and process in the system is sufficient today, without going this extra step.
