Oh my goodness!, page-20

Dear Oh dear.

I don’t see many other Australian junior oil and gas companies with former senior executives in jail!  Not normal I am afraid – would have been money well spent to get a recruitment agent to look at is properly! Or are you seeking to blame an unnamed external consultant for the issue to deflect blame from management of which Heugh was a part. Can’t get around the lack of proper due diligence when Halgreen was hired in which Heugh is complicit.

I agree it is NOT normal for a senior executive to go to jail. Other than none Oil and Gas executives  Rodney Adler and Keith Robert Hunter  to name just two.

"Former FAI Insurance CEO Rodney Adler is squatting on the floor talking into a toilet bowl. It is
the mid 2000s and he is in prison for crimes arising from his time at the insurance giant HIH.

"A former Commonwealth Bank executive who pocketed almost $1 million in bribes from a
  Silicon Valley tech company will serve jail time in Australia before facing more fraud charges
  in the US.

Keith Robert Hunter, a former IT infrastructure and operations chief at the bank, was
  sentenced to 3½ years in jail, with a non-parole period of two years and three months, in the
  NSW District Court yesterday for awarding millions of dollars of contracts to US-based company
  ServiceMesh in return for kickbacks."

Please provide some information that backs up your assertion that Heugh had Halgreen investigated I have never seen anything that supports that, or is this just part of your continual attempts to re-write history??

No attempt to re-write history.

I have hired several senior people, when they told me they have university qualifications I called up the university registry or got someone within the company to verify….10-15minutes, not hard, not expensive but apparently a step too far for John Heugh.

So you are suggesting that JH (and the Board) should all have overlooked the work undertaken for the company on their behalf and undertaken their own "due diligence" ?

Ever heard of the old saying "delegate to those that have the skills and expertise, or perhaps you have heard of "don't buy a dog and then bark yourself"


"What you don’t seem to have grasped Campdenbob is that the rest of the former board of directors are not seeking to be on the board again.  John Heugh is, therefore it is right that his former actions are under scrutiny in the context of the role he seeks to play in the future.  The same scrutiny would be applied to other directors if they were seeking re-election."


I completely agree. But please don't expect people to just "cop it sweet" and let you say anything without a response. You have chosen  to make public comments

Please expect them to be challenged when appropriate.

I know you seem to think you should be held to different standards and not required to answer questions about future plans but if you want the support of shareholders I’m afraid you are going to have to – as you seem to be slowly learning.

Different standards , No I don't agree. I actually expect you to raise your standard from being myopic and biased.
