One of the failings of the transfers policy work so far is that we have
never established a measureable benchmark for the current system.  Thus
it is hard to prove either way whether the policy met its objective.

I hope that before we do any more work, that we can at least establish a
measure whereby we can see whether policy changes make it better or
worse.

I think the perception of Melbourne IT is that it hasn't really got any
better, just more complex and expensive to administer.

Bruce
