Findings of Royal Commission on timber transaction in Gardens Point
The Royal Commission finds Raymond Fave and Harcourt Games involved in a timber transaction with Hancock and Gare. They acted with impropriety and sought personal gain over three and a half years, while the minister and company officers largely failed to properly advise or supervise. The investigation notes no ministerial fraud or personal financial stake by the minister, but cites improper conduct by company director and logging manager and questions the legality and ethics of the deal.
