Question

Senator RUSTON: Have any of the applicants that have sought review made applications that have been refused on ineligibility grounds and then been reinstated? Mr Lovelock: I'd need to take that on notice. [...] Senator RUSTON: Absolutely. The last thing that I would be seeking to do would be to provide any more trauma to somebody who's a survivor. Can you provide us with the number of applicants who accessed the scheme's free legal advice service and the free financial counselling service? Mr Lovelock: I don't know that we have that data with us, but I'm happy to provide that on notice.
