I thank the senator for that question. In all of these circumstances—and, tragically, there is more than one case—my first and foremost consideration is to respect the wishes of the family. As I have previously advised this chamber, my office has contacted Mr Danher's family—his father, in fact—and offered a call or a meeting with me. It was agreed it would be best that this meeting take place once more information is available, and when that has occurred. The NDIA chief legal counsel is reviewing Liam Danher's case and will provide a report on the detail and any learnings that the NDIA can take from this case. The outcomes of that will be communicated to the family, prior to any public comment on this case.
