Mr. Martin Callinan:
I have made that point and I cannot make it any clearer. That is my position. We would all agree on the gravity of the allegations; they were absolutely mind-boggling and needed instant action, which is what I made sure was done. However, if the Deputy is asking me whether what came through the confidential recipient reporting mechanism was of the same magnitude as what was put into the public domain, the answer is "No".
