The Daily Telegraph has reported that:
"Mr Hazzard has also tabled (in State Parliament) notes of three meetings in 2012 he had with Coalpac where his chief of staff, Kath McFarlane, was not present to prove claims she met Coalpac over the matter were wrong.
The chief executive of the company, Ian Follington, had told The Daily Telegraph he held meetings with the minister and his chief of staff "early" in their lobbying for the mine extension.
