Quote - [Mr Kinghorn told The Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday that he did not wish to discuss the donation, which he said was made “some years ago”.The case against Mr Kinghorn, who was charged in 2017 following an eight-year investigation by the Serious Financial Crime Taskforce aided by international agencies, is still before the courts.He was also previously a director of White Energy, a “diversified” coal company, from 2010 to 2013 but resigned after the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption recommended charging him with breaching directors’ duties over his involvement in the Mount Penny mining licence.Mr Kinghorn and his fellow White Energy board member, Travers Duncan, were investors in Cascade Coal, the company that purchased the exploration licence over Eddie Obeid’s family farm in the Bylong Valley. In November 2015, the NSW Court of Appeal cleared him of corrupt conduct, overturning an adverse ICAC finding.]
