Land agent Kevin Phelan, unaware he was being secretly recorded by shady associate Ken Richardson, laid out a plan to force a discounted sale of valuable English properties. Richardson, with a history of fraud including arson for insurance, later leaked the recording. Phelan claimed Lowry and O’Brien were behind illicit land deals, contradicting tribunal findings. Though the blackmail never materialized, payments to Phelan followed — later deemed tied to his knowledge of tribunal deception. With Lowry now in government, the Doncaster deal resurfaces in parliament, reigniting questions about hidden payments and murky financial ties.
