For clarification, I will return to no current risk. Let us forget the organisation for a moment but recognise that there are still potentially some members within the organisation and in power and decision-making roles who it is alleged may have covered up. They were very aware of and sang songs about it. There were all these different statements in the report. Are they not a current risk if they are still in the organisation if they had the capabilities to ignore? What is the referral and risk assessment then? They are not at home, retired. I just do not understand why.
