An article titled “Retirees in dark over loans” is published in the West Australian. The article highlights concerns over the $1.8M loan from the Retirees WA Funeral Fund to a company owned by Roger Nicholls and Frank Pinner (husband of Margaret Thomas), used for the purchase of a property in East Victoria Park which Retirees WA now leases office space in.
The article also highlights concerns from the RWA Finance Committee Members that Roger Nicholls is in control of the organisation and decisions are being made outside of the committee and outside of constitutional due process.
