An email to 2GB’s Andrew Moore:
G’day Andrew,
Re: the James Hardie fines. I think we need to keep in mind that today’s fines relate to an administrative deception, and not directly to compensation to James Hardie victims. For the items which they have been charged, I think the fines are acceptable.
What I think needs to happen though is that separate action needs to be brought against the directors for causing difficulties with paying compensation, and then they should, if found guilty, be forced to pay the unpaid compensation out of their own pockets.
Enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
Regards,
Samuel Gordon-Stewart
