Their refusal to pro-actively take measures to reduce that expense absolutely reflects on them. And again, that's just one simple example. What else is there behind the scenes of the bureaucracy that suffers from the same issues?

Clearly this was a big enough issue that two previous governments were also concerned enough to look into it.

Could it perhaps be that in fact, the CBE is not as well run as other boards, has systemic problems with fiscal management that stretch back over a decade, and is in dire need of governance improvements?

As a taxpayer, I am all for holding government institutions accountable for how they utilize funds, especially ones that have shown their past stewardship deserves closer scrutiny.
