What I can’t understand is, Mr North opened that can of worms by confirming the existence of the unit trust and stated that “There was in fact a subtrust. Imperium Sports Management Pty Ltd was the trustee of a trust, and the Imperium Sports Management unitrust was a party to the relevant transactions. I know that people who were individuals or companies associated had interest and took units in the trust. A number of people did that. I was not one of them.”
– yet, Mr Gray has written to the Senate in the Correspondence and referred to Mr Leahy’s testimony, and has all but accused Mr Leahy of spreading rumours – Mr Gray says: “It is important for the inquiry to be aware that Mr. Leahy’s evidence, and I assume his out of hearing conversations/ briefings, to those conducting the inquiry, are erroneous, not factual, and by his own admission to the inquiry based on uniformed supposition.(sic)”
The only reference Mr Leahy made about Mr Gray in his testimony was that “Two meetings were organised by Mr Gray”. Any other assumptions by Mr Gray regarding what was said in camera is ridiculous and one can only wonder why Mr Gray would feel the need to come out and make any assertions about Mr Leahy’s in camera statements.
