I wish to add that we need this report for all sorts of reasons but the director general failed to give a full apology to the service provider pending its outcome. While it is very important that we get the report as soon as possible, he could have given an apology anyway. It deserved an apology. My understanding is that he gave a partial apology on foot of the High Court settlement but was waiting to decide whether he would give a full apology pending the outcome of this report. He said categorically that it would be published very soon. He led us to believe it would be released almost immediately. Here we are, almost a month later, and there is still no report. We have written over and back to him. This is not the first time we have raised this. We have raised it every week since he was before the committee. How many times have we written to him? Is this the only response we have received? Is this the one and only piece of correspondence we have received?
