They do actually answer my question, and that answer is: there are some people who don't have access to redress because they were in defunct organisations. I wasn't asking about where organisations refused to opt in. We did discuss opt-in institutions yesterday, but the fact is some survivors will not be able to access redress because the government isn't prepared to act as the funder of last resort where there are defunct organisations.

I want to move on to issues related to people in jail, unable to apply for redress. The provisions are subject to the discretion of the operator. The operator may determine that there are exceptional circumstances justifying the application being made. Can you outline what are classed as exceptional circumstances?
