I note that some email correspondence has been circulated to us and that it is incomplete. The financial plan is not attached. The draft minutes of the board are obviously not attached. We listened very carefully to Mr. Doherty's direct evidence earlier. He would state that these letters were a red flag. The subject line was "notification of cash-flow issue". I am reading them now and can see this in the first paragraph. Mr. Doherty is quite a level type guy. He is not inflammatory in any way. My reading of this would be a red flag. I presume AHBRA and the Charities Regulator are taking a different stance on that?
