Despite this, Jan Logie expressed her concern that having a monitor reporting on Government agencies, she felt, was like a junior chief executive critiquing a very powerful one in the same Public Service. I want to make it clear that the decision about where the monitor sits is actually not in the bill. It was a matter for Cabinet, and that matter was determined by Cabinet. I also want to make clear that the monitor is a statutory officer. It will be operationally autonomous from other departments, including the Education Review Office, in relation to its monitoring role, as well as acting as a trusted adviser to the Children and Young People's Commission, the Government, and the public.
