I am surprised by the story from the former employee as I personally know that employee and would be surprised given his level of expertese as to wether he actually wrote the story in the first place.

Why would he wait until now to write on this web site given that he left the company some time in the past? The immediate reaction, of a disgruntled former employee would be, if he left not through his own accord would be to "bad mouth" the company at his earliest convenience NOT wait more than three years to do so.

It certainly wasn't me who wrote the article, as I too, am a former employee of both Australian Radiata Pty Ltd and Port Stephens Pearls Pty Ltd with a scientific background and no longer associated with the company.

It may well be someone trying to discredit the company Port Stephens Pearls Pty Ltd in a guise to gain support for their particular type of pearl farm operation or something similar.

I am sure all will be revealed in the future.
