I'm advised that the figure that's been used by the minister is a derived figure. I refer you to a document entitled Final information update: during our five-year inquiry. I'm not sure, Senator Siewert, if you have that document. In that document, there's a chart headed 'Proportion of survivors who told us they were abused in a religious institution'. When you look at that chart, you can see a breakdown, and I am advised that that chart assisted the minister and informed him in relation to that figure.
