I thank our witnesses today. Even with the 15 minutes, I have a lot of areas I would like to cover so I hope Ms Hall will excuse me if I cut across her every so often. It is inevitable in these sessions.

I will begin with the issue of the computer-aided dispatch, CAD, incidents. I am aware that the review process is not complete but, of the 2,316 incidents that have been reviewed for invalid closures, it was found that 134 crimes had not been recorded. Is Ms Hall satisfied that this is a fair and reasonable reflection of the level of unrecorded crimes in the context of what we know about domestic violence, when you may be going back to people many days or weeks after an incident has occurred? Is she satisfied that the figure of 134 represents a true reflection of the impact of those CAD calls?
