[3] Published on 31 July 2002 the "Gordon Report" made a number of recommendations in respect of the Swan Valley Nyungah Community and government agencies.
[5] It also found that the Government "was not in a position to accommodate former residents of the SVNC quickly" and had "significantly underestimated the number of families and individuals requiring assistance".
[6] The Select Committee made findings against the conduct of Premier Gallop's media adviser Kieran Murphy, who promised an exclusive story to newspaper journalist Colleen Egan.
The Report concluded that he had "completely bypassed the convention that public servants should advise vigorously and honestly and governments should decide in the light of their advice".
[10] Curry and Brazier had "no proper basis for providing advice to the Premier"[11] as their departments were "inactive in regard to the Lord Street Camp".
[14] Gordon, who said the Swan Valley Nyungah Community was "an adequate and reasonably well maintained facility"[14] also said "I do not think there are any similarities whatsoever between a management order and a memorandum of understanding".
