The Carenne Gate blog has written about how Carenne threw away a number of smartboards just recently but it doesn't know that smartboards have always been a cause of controversy at Carenne. Michael Auld was investigated by Gary Bevan after a complaint was made about him leaking information when the whiteboard tender came up. Auld denied it of course, but it did happen. It was mentioned in meeting minutes at the school which have since been destroyed.
This is why Michael hates the Carters so much, they put him in for being corrupt.
Brian Carter's version of the smartboard saga is in his EPAC statement.
I had a major concern about Mr Auld after the release of a discussion paper about Interactive Whiteboards by DET sometime around August, 2006. He told Nathan and I that he had an agreement with Trent Sydney at Electroboard to provide him with a copy of the document in exchange for two free Interactive Whiteboards.
I recall there being a disagreement between Nathan and Mr Auld about the agreement, with Nathan telling Mr Auld it was “unethical because it would give Electroboard a competitive advantage when tenders are called”.
Nathan also told Mr Mahony how he felt about the agreement.
Mr Sydney never kept his side of the agreement and as such Mr Auld and Mr Mahony had an argument as they had planned on receiving a free whiteboard and never did. Mr Mahony told Mr Auld he had cost the school around $4000.

Yes that Nathan Carter is a troublemaker and will whinge about anything. So what if the school benefited from it, Michael didn't. Something else lost because of Nathan Carter and his "morals".
So what if you acted illegally Michael. At least someone at Carenne had morals and decency.
