With regard to the estimates Parliament scrutinizes right now, you spend a lot of time on those. To a large extent your time is wasted, because we come out with a budget shortly after, and a lot of that work, a lot of that analysis, is wasted. It's rendered irrelevant. What we want to do is make sure the work of parliamentarians is meaningful and impactful and holds government to account on the things that really matter.
