ABC Online
Earlier, Mr Kons, has denied telling his driver the pulp mill was going to be approved by the end of May last year. The driver Mike Hawkes told the same committee last month that he took Mr Kons to see the Mr Lennon at his heritage property. Mr Hawkes says Mr Kons told him Mr Lennon had said the mill would be approved by May. A few months later Gunns withdrew the pulp mill from the independent planning process and Mr Lennon introduced fast track assessment legislation.
