![]() During the call, Mr Cox described the suggestion as “a joke.” ICAC on Monday heard a recording of a telephone call that took place in late 2020 between Mr Cox and Mr Nguyen, who discussed suggestions by “Andrew” that RJS Infrastructure put on a Christmas party on a yacht for 40 Downer employees. Mr Watters subsequently testified that the allegations were false, he was not paid a bribe, and was not given cash as Mr Cox asserted. Mr Cox has previously testified before ICAC that he paid a cash bribe of thousands of dollars to former Downer project manager Kevin Watters to help RJS Infrastructure win work on projects. Mr Cox subsequently became a shareholder in RJS Infrastructure, which was established by former Inner West Council project engineer Tony Nguyen. It was hired by RJS Infrastructure in 2019 to work on the Lithgow train station project managed by Downer. Mr Cox, who has worked for several engineering firms during his career including Chinese-owned John Holland and France’s Bouygues, set up his own firm, Marble Arch, in 2018. It was the case in all walks of life that if somebody had a positive opinion towards a particular company, “then they will push their case,” Mr Cox testified.Īsked whether he could have instead got positive opinions through ability and hard work, Mr Cox said that the work had to be secured first. Mr Cox said in evidence that he didn’t think RJS Infrastructure would have got “a proper crack” at jobs without help and that there “seemed to be a bit of favouritism” towards some companies. Mr Cox was asked by counsel assisting ICAC Phillip English why he thought he needed someone “on the inside corrupting the tender process” to help the company, RJS Infrastructure, get work on taxpayer-funded projects.

Just download the disk image from Roni Music, trash the old version and put the new one in your Applications folder. ![]() ![]() If you use ASD on Mac OS X 10 or higher (as I do) you’ll want to upgrade to the 64 bit version to ensure it continues to work on future versions of the OS. There are other programs which can do this – and more – but I’ve been very satisfied with the simplicity and ease of use of The ‘Slow Downer. It can slow down music tracks without changing the pitch, it can change the pitch for you if you want, it can loop sections of a song so you can play along until you’ve got it, you can save out the processed audio and it does more besides. ![]() If you’ve taken lessons from me you’ll have seen me using a bit of software called The Amazing Slow Downer from Roni Music. Bit of a dull post this one but I wanted to pass on the information.
