Mr. Tom Parlon:

Well, I think it was more seeking clarity was the situation, rather than lobbying, but clearly we represented our members and that's sort of unashamedly what any representative organisation would do, or if as a Deputy or as a Senator, if a constituent comes to you and says I have a problem with X, and I'm not happy the way a particular Department dealt with me, and so on, that's what you would do, and that's what I did in my role as CIF director, I represented the members' issue.
