| Former minerals minister Ian Macdonald ignored repeated advice from his department that he could not simply grant an exploration licence for a training mine in the Hunter to his close friend, mining union boss John Maitland, the corruption watchdog has been told.
But instead of heeding his department, the minister became a proponent for the mine, and granted the licence without tender, turning Mr Maitland's original $166,000 investment into a $15 million profit.
Opening the third leg of the Independent Commission Against Corruption's inquiry into corruption within the former NSW Labor government, counsel assisting, Peter Braham SC, said the Doyles Creek training mine “was essentially gifted” to a group of investors from Newcastle, including Mr Maitland, who had been a leading figure in the mining division of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union.
