I thank Senator McCarthy for her question. I do not have with me today the information that you require. However, I will take the specifics of the detailed question that you asked in relation to each and every one of those individual instances that you have just quoted. I make the point that this is a very delicate and sensitive area and that we need to be mindful of how we handle these issues. I would warn everyone opposite that talking about this issue requires great sensitivity and I caution anyone reaching unfounded conclusions that continue to perpetuate the upset and trauma that is inflicted on the loved ones.
