#VictoriaLIVE 13/10/16: Saunders of NAPAC + IICSA makes an erroneous claim during broadcast. The clock strikes 13
Peter Saunders claimed NAPAC received >72,000 calls from survivors in 2015, yet the figure was 5,457. This was revealed in the recent NAPAC submission to the Government consultation on Mandatory Reporting (10/16) as you can read here : https://goo.gl/vbZMpX
The clock that strikes thirteen casts doubt not merely on the thirteenth strike, but on all the strikes that preceded it and in the unique case of Mr Saunders, those that will inevitably follow.
Mr Saunders commendably founded NAPAC more than 20 years ago. One would have thought the correct facts would have been at his fingertips. Reliance on any opinion he expresses about IICSA needs therefore, to be treated with utmost caution.
Members of the VSCP regularly make media appearances on behalf of the inquiry. Mandate Now posted about this development here: https://goo.gl/sgWXQ9
