Look Left: For McCormick to call this Committee (by inference) an uninformed minority shows how childish he is and how little he understands the role of Parliament in its oversight of Government agencies.
creamy:
[D]o not be dismayed by our vocal but largely uninformed minority of critics; they are symptomatic of other ills in society. I prefer ‘facts’ when engaged in discussions; not hearsay and tautological rubbish that some others seem to regard as promising material.

Presumably, then, the members of the Senate Committee who have already gone on record as being critical of CASA in this matter are among the “largely uninformed minority”.

And BTW: Most of CASA’s evidence to the Committee is merely opinion and hearsay. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. But CASA might remind itself about that Pot/Kettle metaphor.
Top post LL! Yourself and creamy have both voiced what the vast majority of rational individuals on here now know from all the available evidence presented in this inquiry thus far and the Senators also now 'get it!'

Those who choose to ignore the cold hard facts and keep defending the indefenceable, for what can only be their own self-interest, by default become part of the problem and not the solution.
