FOR MEDIAFRIDAY, 10 APRIL, 1981
SHAREHOLDINGS IN THE RUNDLE PROJECT 5~ 4.
I.-
I understand that Mr. Derryn Hinch, in his radio programme
this morning, siated that the Minister for Business and
Consumer Affairs, Mr. Moore, has held shares in companies
associated with the Rundle project.
There is an implication from Mr. Hinch's statements that
Mr. Moore has done so since becoming a Minister and that
there is an impropriety.
Mr. Moore '-as assured me that, since he became a Minister
last Nova-J. er, he has not personally held any shares in any
of the c--ard-es associated with the Rundle project nor has
he held anv such shares through any company, partnership or
trust. sall number of these shares have been held for
some 2-3 y-ears by his children but have not been traded since
their acquisition.
Clearly there has been no impropriety.
I believe that Mr. Hinch has been irresponsible in making
such imputations without any foundation.
