ELIZABETH THE SECOND, by the Grace of God Queen of New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith:

To Our Trusty and Well-beloved DONALD GERARD STEWART, a Judge of the Supreme Court of New Zealand:

GREETING:

WHEREAS you have been appointed by Letters Patent issued to you on the 25th day of June 1981* by the Administrator of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia to make inquiry, inter alia, into the methods of operation of one Terrence John Clark and persons associated with him in activities involving contravention of laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, and, in particular, of laws relating to the importation, exportation, or possession of drugs:

And whereas you have, by Letters Patent issued to you on the 24th day of June 1981 by the Governor of the State of New South Wales and by Letters Patent issued to you on the 30th day of June 1981 by the Governor of the State of Victoria and by Letters Patent issued to you on the 25th day of June 1981 by the Governor of the State of Queensland, been appointed to make similar inquiry into activities involving contravention of the laws of the States of New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland:

And whereas it is a matter of public importance to ascertain whether, and if so by what method or agency, money which is the product of or is used for financing transactions relating to the importation, exportation, or possession of drugs is transmitted between Australia and New Zealand and whether or not it is invested in New Zealand:

And whereas it is a matter of public importance that such assistance should be given to the Commonwealth of Australia and to the States of New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland as is necessary to enable a full inquiry to be made in New Zealand in respect of activities in New Zealand which relate to drug trafficking in Australia:

KNOW YE that We, reposing trust and confidence in your integrity, knowledge, and ability, do hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint you, the said DONALD GERARD STEWART, to be a Commission to inquire into and report upon:

(a) Whether Terrence John Clark, or any person associated with Terrence John Clark, in connection with any illegal activity transferred money to New Zealand—
(i) For investment in New Zealand; or
(ii) With intent, by any means, to transfer the money back to Australia,—
and, if so, by what method or agency the money was so transferred:

(b) Whether in connection with any transfer or investment of money described in paragraph (a) of this warrant
