Fletcher’s apparent endorsement of the purchase was revealed by staff from the Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) at a Senate committee hearing on Wednesday. They also revealed that representatives of the Leppington Pastoral Company and another politically connected landholder, Louise Waterhouse, had arranged meetings with a commonwealth official at Aussies coffee shop in Parliament House in October 2016.
