I think indeed there should be a recoupment of funds if fraud or a breach of the act has been involved, but that's not my remit. That falls really under the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner. My sole duty is to make sure that people do not get into conflict—or, if they have a conflict, that they manage it in such a way that they are in compliance with the act—and obviously to investigate if there should be alleged breaches.
