Austrade claims to have suddenly remembered a lot about the circumstances surrounding the employment and eventual departure of John Finnin, including details the organisation appeared unable to answer when asked about them in the Senate in February 2007. When first asked 9 very direct questions, they refused to answer. Then, four days later – after I go ahead and publish my stories – the organisation answers some of them. One of the many issues is that Austrade’s answers appear to contradict evidence given in the Victorian County Court – by Finnin himself. So what exactly is at the bottom of all of this?
