Senator PAYNE (New South Wales—Minister for Defence) (14:48): I can indicate that I do not understand Ms Mason still to be a member of the Department of Finance, but I stand to be corrected on that. The decision was made by the DHA board. As I indicated, it is long-term appointments that require the approval of the Prime Minister and, at their discretion, of the cabinet. It is only for three months.
