Also during 1984, the Costigan Commission issued a draft report into its investigation into the Painters and Dockers Union which implicated a prominent businessman, codenamed "Goanna", in tax evasion and organised crime activities. In September that year news reports published leaked case summaries and Kerry outed himself as "Goanna" but denied all allegations. When Clyde Packer was contacted he observed that his brother "had his rights trampled on and his name defamed". The Costigan Commission had also contacted the FBI and DEA to investigate Clyde Packer's own activities, after a US surfing official claimed that one of Packer's local magazines was a front for drug-trafficking. He was never officially accused of any wrongdoing related to those investigations. Later, he was publicly exonerated and it was revealed that the FBI questioned the evidence that the commission provided.
