I believe that as chairman of the redress committee I'm entitled to know where the figure of $150,000 came from. I'm getting emails. Senator Siewert is getting emails from people. We're getting letters from people asking, 'How did this happen?' I cannot go back to these victims and say how they got this figure, because I do not know. And I think I'm entitled at some stage to find out.
