Minister, the issue goes far deeper than Gary Anderson. I can cite multiple similar failings, not just in this case, that are due to individual elements of our criminal justice system not engaging with one another. That is, in large part, because our Criminal Justice Board still does not have a shared vision or shared priorities, as outlined by Criminal Justice Inspection in November 2024 — two years ago. There is a leadership issue.
