AFF¡DAVIT OF DAVID LANSBURY

l, David Lansbury, of 6 Townson Place, Leeming, Western Australia, lndustrial Relations

Consultant, affirm as follows:

t. I am77 years of age

On 22 September 2Ot4,l was served with a summons to appear before the Royal

Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption at a hearing on 29

September 2OL4. I have been advised by my treating doctor that, due to my

medical conditions, I should not travel to Sydney for the hearing. I have provided

a certificate to this effect to the Commission.

3. I have prepared this affidavit to be tendered at the hearing

Background

I have over 50 years of experience in the onshore and offshore construction

industry in project planning, administrative and employee/industrial relations

support roles including:

(a) Human Resources;

(b) lndustrial Relations;

(c) Tender Preparation; and

(d) Project Execution.

ln 2005 I retired from my position as lndustrial Relations Manager with Clough

Engineering Limited a position I held for over L7 years.

ljoined Strategic Human Resources (SHR) as an lndustrial Relations Consultant in

late 2005.

8 During my employment with SHR I have had contact with a variety of union

officials at both State and Federal levels including the Maritime Workers' Union

(MUA) as part of my role as an advisor to clients on industrial relations.

Blacktip Project

During my employment with SHR I was assigned to provide Saipem with

industrial relations advice on the Blacktip project located offshore in the

Bonaparte Basin located in the northwest of Western Australia.

L0. The role included:

1.1,.

(a) Provision of industrial relations advice;

(b) Support for industrial relations management requirements;

(c) lnformation on legislative obligations related to employment;

(d) Compliance with employment related legislation;

(e) lnterpretations of existing agreement obligations of the manning agentscovering both the marine and construction labour;

(f) ldentification of industrial relations risks and planning mitigationstrategies;

(e) Drafting of various lR documentation, including project briefings to theapplicable unions; memorandums of understanding; and

(h) Advising on the industry lR practice and precedent and the impact ofoperational requirements in the face of those practices and precedents.

The role was one of providing the best possible industrial relations advice, based

on industry practice at the time. Despite the advice provided to the Client at the

time, it was always the decision of the client as to whether they accepted,

adopted or implemented the advice.

12 Saipem representatives whom I dealt with in undertaking this role included the

following:

Antoine Legrand - HR/lR Manager; and

Fabio Di Giorgi- Project Manager.

The primary contact was Antoine Legrand. Exhibit DL-l is a copy of an email

from Antoine Legrand, dated L6 July 2008, in which he provides some

background information on the project. lt was around this time that I first

became involved in the project.

I am unaware of the commercial relationship between Saipem and its client (ENl)

but the clear impression that I got was that ENI made many of the decisions that

involved a fiscal effect on the project.

ln relation to the Blacktip Project, there were in-term maritime agreements in

place covering the manning agent crews (Offshore Marine Services). There were

few lR issues relating to this project as most were resolved prior to the vessel

commencing on this project. To the best of my recollection the main issues that

arose were

lssue How Resolved

Accommodation

L. Air conditioning

2. Bed bugs

1.. Hard-lying in accordance with OMS agreement

2. Fumigation & Cleaning; new bedding

Cyclone Billy lncident Cyclone procedure developed and agreed with the

unions whilst crews retained on standby

Foreign Crewed tugs METL contribution

During my involvement in the project I attended a number of meetings where the

issue of foreign crewed tugs and contribution to METL were discussed. lt is my

practice to take file notes of meetings that I attend. The following file notes,

which I prepared shortly after each meeting, are accurate records of the

meetings that I attended where this issue was raised:

Exhibit DL-2 is a copy of a file note I prepared in respect of the meetingbetween the MUA and Saipem/OMS that occurred on L5 August 2008;

with Saipem - ENI that occurred on 26 August 2008;

(d) Exhibit DL-5 is a copy of a file note I prepared in respect of a meeting withthe MUA local branch and Saipem/OMS that occurred on 28 August 2008;

and

(e) Exhibit DL-6 is a copy of the file note I prepared recording the minutes ofmeeting at the MUA Office in Fremantle on 1l- September 2008.

Save for the matters mentioned in paragraph L9, I was not requested to provide

any lR advice to Saipem pertaining to the contribution of funds to METL. Saipem

and ENI perceived an lR risk emanating from the MUA in relation to METL

contributions. Saipem and/or ENI may have obtained lR advice from other

sources in relation to this, but not from me or representatives of SHR. I was

aware of negotiations occurring between Saipem and the MUA in relation to

METL but lwas not involved in those negotiations. Whilst lhave sighted

documents that verify the contribution to METL, I have no knowledge of who

made the contributions - Saipem or ENl.

With regard to the benefits that may have arisen as a result of the METL

contribution, I can't say for certain, but the issue over the utilisation of foreign

crewed tugs to tow in the line pipe from South-East Asia was resolved.

The following documents record lR advice I gave to Saipem regarding thecontribution of funds to METL:

(a) Exhibit DL-8 is a copy of an email I sent to Antoine Legrand on 9November 2008 attaching a briefing note on METL.

Exhibit DL-7 is a copy of an email I sent to Fabio Di Giorgi on 9 October2008.

Yvonne,

Quick updaté on the situation:

'l ) We have.had the lnspectlon of Castoro B / meetlngs on board wlth MUA offloials yesterday.Several clalms were ralsed (Malnly 16 % bonus, hardlylng allovance, contributlon to training fund.,.); we should be ableto flnallze a MOU for our ounent proJect next week during our next meetlng ln Perth,I'll send the complete list of clalms asap,

As you are already aware, our cllent ls ready to pay some of the claims to close the lssues, As we agreed, we clarlfledthat these engagemenb werq only taken for the current project but lt ls obvlous that thls creates, a precedent,To summarize situatlon on board, works are golng well but marltlme crew ls creatlng a lot of technlcal lssues; we hopethat reaching the agreement next week wlll Rush them out.

2) What is posltlve is that constructlon unions didn't want to get lnvolved ln thls, We'll meet them afterlhe meetlng wlthMUA next week to finallze the trainlng contrlbullon, We hope that thìs will close out the MOU arrd that they won't rålseaddltlonal lssues ralsed by the MUA

3) We have made'several attempts to contaot MUA & AMOU Natlonal offices to organlze a brieling. for end of July lnSydney; without answers so far.Anyway for the momênt, any meeting wlll for sure be polluted by the curent proJect tlll we close lhe above.

I would suggest we meet next week after meeting with MUA to update you & prepare brletîngs,
