Adele Ferguson鈥檚 piece in the Sydney Morning Herald-The AGE today ('DJs board will be on defensive as perceived conflicts flare up鈥�, February 4) needs clarification.
The column says David Jones director Philippa Stone is part of ob体育鈥檚 equity offerings liaison committee. This committee has not operated for many years. Instead, ob体育 now holds regular Corporate Finance Liaison Meetings. All legal practitioners practising in this area are welcome to attend these meetings.
All ob体育鈥檚 external committees and panels are listed in ob体育鈥檚 2012鈥�13 Annual report on page 144.
The column also refers to Peter Mason's son working at ob体育. This is true, and, as Ms Ferguson acknowledges, Mr Mason's son had nothing to do with the DJ's investigation.
As the public would expect, ob体育 has in place robust conflict management processes.
