Falloon and Allaway, along with Mickie Rosen, made up the Fairfax faction on the board and do not always see eye-to-eye with the Nine directors led by the chairman, Peter Costello, sources said.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Monday that Falloon was being investigated by his own company over allegations he allowed his son to use a corporate membership at a prestigious northern Sydney golf club. Falloon was reported as saying there were no issues with his use of any membership and he had not spent a dollar of company money. There is no suggestion Falloon has misused any company funds.
