Royal commission urges cutting oil to ACTU Solo
The Royal Commission on Petroleum urges the government to stop further supplies of Australian crude oil to ACTU Solo Enterprises. It finds ACTU secretary Harold Souter deceived Minister Connor, exonerating the minister from a deal, while opposition figures hint at secret understandings and potential early elections. The report covers Allied Petrochemicals sale of 420000 barrels to ACTU Solo and misrepresentation of prices.

Secret dealings alleged in government price dispute
A royal commission report alleges ACTU-Sala told Connor the government approved price was 2.10 a barrel while the true price was 5.00, and that Sou ter knew the higher price was unlikely to be approved. Allied Petrochemicals could gain over 1 million from the windfall, as APC faced implications. The commission cites deceit by ACTU-Sale directors Souter and Wieland, with Hawke absent, and notes the minister may have failed to grasp the transaction’s true nature while APC and ACTL-Sola arranged an offer at 5 a barrel.
