This gets back to what I said yesterday about the AirNZ staff who bore the brunt of Mahon's report. There were all sorts of allegations tossed around, apart from that of organised perjury. The exec pilot who went down to the ice was alleged to have disposed of relevant documents. Another exec pilot (who was an ALPA rep at the time) was alleged to have collected documents from the F/O's house and then destroyed them. Morrie Davies was alleged to have ordered the shredding of incriminating documents. And there was also the burglary allegation to which you refer.

None of these allegations were established before the Royal Commission. The Police investigated them. No-one was prosecuted.

So the allegations were either unfounded, or AirNZ, in the spece of 24 hours, managed to transform itself from a pack of bunglers into a superbly-organised criminal machine.
