Statement by Philip Perham, deputy managing director Fujitsu General (Aust.) Pty Limited:

In response to last night's 'Today Tonight' story where a senior executive of Fujitsu Australia was featured, I would like to make the very important distinction between Fujitsu General (Aust.) Pty Limited and the company mentioned last night, Fujitsu Australia Limited.

The individual mentioned in this story is not an employee of Fujitsu General. We are two totally independent and separate companies operating here in Australia and there is no link other than the sharing of the brand name.

Fujitsu General operates under its own management structure in Australia and globally.

If you would like to make your views known, we have been advised by the management of Fujitsu Australia that you should direct your enquiries to the below contact:
