[Voice-over] Further revelations followed a few months later, and in November of that year, fifteen ONAN committee members were cashiered when they were found to have received an estimated $4 million worth of jewellery from a man who gave his name as Mr Tabernacle Choir.
[John is being interviewed by Liz Jackson]:
Well, I’ve always responded pretty well to a challenge. I can remember when I was a kid once playing cricket with my cousins on the lawn at the back of my grandmother’s place and somebody said, ‘I bet you can’t put a ball on the roof of that big tool shed at the bottom of the garden’, and I can still remember thinking, "You reckon I can’t do that, don’t you?"
[Off-camera] And could you do it?
No. It was too far away.
[John is being interviewed by Liz Jackson]:
I felt at this stage Allan Ronaldson still deserved a chance to clear his name. There was still some doubt. Don’t forget that Allan had worked very, very hard for a very, very long time for the movement. I thought that there was still a chance, in my mind, that all of this could turn out to have been a mistake.
[Off-camera] Did you ever see him with a yacht?
No, categorically, I never once saw Allan with a yacht. I did see him with a light aircraft once, at a meeting.
[Off-camera] And where did he get that from?
He told me he’d won that in a card game.
[John is being interviewed by Liz Jackson]:
[Off-camera] How do you feel when you get personal criticism? Does it hurt?
Personal criticism? I don’t pay much attention to personal criticism, to be honest. Who said something?
[Off-camera] Well, it has been said that you’re arrogant, for example, hasn’t it?
Well what complete barking moron said that?
[John is being interviewed by Liz Jackson]:
Yes, I have regrets, I suppose. I’d like, for example, to be able to get out of the office a little bit more and perhaps spend some time with some of the charity organisations that I’m involved with.
[Off-camera] And which ones are they?
Oh, Bicycles for the Deaf, African Dog Hospital, something at Thredbo. American Express. Countless others.
[John is being interviewed by Liz Jackson]:
[Off-camera] It’s been said that ONAN is undemocratic, hasn’t it? That it is a closed, secretive, elite group.
Yes, but only by riffraff.
