Senator GALLACHER (South Australia) (14:46): My question is to the Minister for Defence, Senator Payne. I refer to the shock departure of Mr Peter Howman as the managing director of Defence Housing Australia, or DHA, a fortnight ago. Mr Howman's departure came just days after the Customer Service Institute of Australia named him their Customer Service CEO of the Year and also presented DHA with a service excellence award. Under Mr Howman, DHA has been one of the country's best performing government business enterprises, with a net profit after tax of $91.1 million last financial year. Minister, what circumstances led to Mr Howman's departure from DHA, and were you consulted?
