2 On 11 October 2002 Mr Dean Mighell gave evidence before the Commission. In doing so he described
himself as the Secretary of the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia, Electrical Division, Victorian Branch. It appears that the Tasmanian and Victorian Branches of the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia, Electrical Division, may have amalgamated in April 2002. However, any such amalgamation is of no significance to this case study.

20 Smith Statement, exhibit 1644, paragraphs 26-28 and 33, document 084.0468.0110.0001. Smith gave
evidence (Smith, T15300/4-37) that Mighell asked him to increase the premium from $10.75 to $14.50 to cover the ETU’s management fee in early 2000 but is uncertain. That evidence about the date must be rejected. It is clear that in December 1999, Smith gave a presentation about the policy at the offices of NECA Victoria and that the premium of $14.50 was noted but not discussed.

can recall, however that evidence is rejected firstly because of the majority views that the discussion occurred in late 1999 and secondly because it is less logical that a meeting to discuss the proposed policy would occur subsequent to NECA Victoria agreeing to the policy (which it did about 22 December 1999).

evidence that the deletion of the funeral benefit from the proposed policy occurred ‘months before’: Mighell, T15332/40–41. That evidence is rejected.
