Mr Heilbuth denied being friends with Mr Molan, despite an email that suggested otherwise in response to Mr Molan's resignation in August 2014. He said he queried the first invoice from Ms Taylor but Mr Molan assured him that "it was all above board". "Maybe in this instance I relied on Mr Molan too much," he said. The TAFE's then chief executive, Peter Heilbuth, admitted to approving Ms Taylor's contract without knowing anything about her company, saying he "more or less" left every aspect of the deal to Mr Molan.

Molan responsible for overseeing contract: former CEO The hearing was told that Mr Molan and Ms Taylor had a personal and professional relationship. Mr Molan was questioned for more than two hours on Wednesday afternoon and may be recalled to give evidence at a later date. "We thought this was a legitimate training exercise," he said. Mr Molan said he never did anything to check that the course was actually being delivered and the possibility that Ms Taylor was trying to scam the TAFE "didn't even cross my mind". The hearing was told Mr Molan allegedly passed Ms Taylor in a certificate four in engineering around the same time she submitted her first invoice for $1.4 million. "I was not a rogue, I was a well-respected, long-serving and committed employee of South West TAFE." "I have no recollection of doing it but I don't deny it was done under my name," he said. He denied later accessing the TAFE's student database to falsely state that Ms Taylor had obtained the necessary qualifications to teach and assess the engineering students. "All this is going on days after my father died and I probably wasn't in a good space." "I can never recall reading that document in full," he said. Mr Molan admitted to signing off on Ms Taylor's contact with the TAFE knowing she lacked any engineering qualifications but said he was not in a good frame of mind at the time.
