It was twofold. It's a very different model in Australia. Departments have their own bank accounts; they actually get cash in a bank account. They were given cash for depreciation, the idea being they were supposed to hang on to it and when they needed to buy a new building, they'd have a nice little nest egg. What happened was they spent it on operations, so they didn't have money for a new building. The corollary was when parliamentarians found that out, they said, “We didn't know they could do that. We didn't know we were voting money for depreciation.”
