I have a further comment, if Mr. Moloney would like to respond. If he does not, that is okay. We have meetings here once per week with many different witnesses and organisations. I always become concerned when we get negative emails and phone calls about witnesses or an organisation before they come in. I am not sure why there is so much negativity towards his organisation, but it is out there. I have received six or seven emails this evening from groups and individuals. They asked me to put a number of questions, some of which I have put to Mr. Moloney. He has answered them. However, the amount of negativity out there towards this organisation is concerning. I am unsure how the organisation can promote itself in a better light. That is up to the organisation and its board to reflect upon. I have been a member of this committee for over three years and I can only recall three or four occasions when people made an effort to contact me or other members. There is something wrong somewhere, that the board and the chairman has to reflect upon. It might be messaging or the organisation being more proactive in its advertising, but it is concerning. I am only reflecting what I have received. This is not my personal opinion, but I concern myself when I get negative emails and messages about an organisation. There are also some questions I could not ask.
