The culprit was Director-general of the Department of Business and Regional Development in 1993, chief executive of the Newcastle Ports Corporation, senior management position in the NSW Health Department, currently professor at the University of Newcastle's Graduate School of Business and chair of the university foundation board. . . four claimed degrees, including ther Ph.D., and all diplomas counterfeit.
