the things we've been talking about, how he handled or mishandled them.

We don't know her conclusions.

The third one, we literally don't know.

We just learned about it last night.

It was only mentioned in the context of a complaint about Brereton's conduct.

So the problem is a perception one, primarily.

It's that, as you said, he appears in uniform, that he has ongoing work with defence personnel.

Defence referrals, of which there have been many, we believe over 100 to the NAC, defence is potentially the NAC's biggest customer.

allegations that have been made in relation to defence material, defence acquisitions, defence matters generally.

We're talking about billion-dollar contracts here.

Now, we have the head of the NAC who has since finally has recused himself from those referrals.

He's recused himself after having presided over them for two years, for more than two years.

The question to me now is, what happens to all of those investigations that he presided over for two and a half years?

Do they get revisited?

Who do they get revisited by?

Are they situations that were influenced by Brereton?

Of course they would have been.

He was the head of the commission.

So we have a genuine deep-seated problem here.

I think there are serious problems about his original appointment and I don't think they've been adequately discussed.
