In terms of the announcements that have recently been made by Minister Day on the Firearms Centre, those are matters completely of government discretion around policy and expenditure, which is the entitlement of governments to make. What I can say is that however the program evolves into the future, I'm confident that it is on a much more stable footing from a management control and accounting and parliamentary reporting perspective than it ever has been in the past. Whatever happens, I think parliamentarians can rest assured that they will be in a position to get good information about the program on a go-forward basis.
