I won't give a concluded view—certainly not. I'm just stating the facts: 210 cases, nothing happened. The problem is that we see this pattern in the evidence emerging. Oh sorry; one thing happened: Professor Carney didn't get renewed in his position in 2017. So we've got a missing million-dollar report, shelved. We've got the Masterton legal opinion, never revealed. On 140 occasions, coalition ministers said, 'I don't recall.' You don't have to draw a concluded view yet, but we know where the evidence is going.
