In answer to a question to Senator Nettle earlier in the week, I gave an undertaking I would get back if I had further information. I do—I have only just noticed part of it in my folder; I had it there in question time yesterday. I am not sure whether you asked me yesterday or the day before, but in any event I have got the answer. It is simply that the Red Cross, by way of correspondence, did seek to offer support or assistance to the family to whom you refer. Those letters were provided to the family and interpreted, and the offer was declined.
