THE truth is finally beginning to emerge about the events at Iguanas Waterfront, say the two staff members who refuse to recant from their statutory declarations about the incident.

"I don't really know what to say, I guess I think the truth is finally coming out," Paul Trotter, an Iguanas staff member and witness to last Friday's events, told the Herald .

Mr Trotter and another staff member, Tom Crocker, have stuck to their claims of swearing and threats by Belinda Neal, although four other staff members - including the general manager, Steve Twitchin, and operations manager, Jared Golla - retracted their statutory declarations last Saturday. At that time an apology to John Della Bosca was released, which has since been revealed to have been written by the minister.

"I'm glad that the Government is starting to look more into it, instead of [Morris] Iemma saying he just accepts Della Bosca's apology," Mr Crocker said.

"It's good to know that, yeah, maybe the truth is starting to appear," he said.

Ms Neal's spokesman, Chris Keating, one of two staff who has signed a statutory declaration stating that neither Mr Della Bosca nor Ms Neal did anything improper at Iguanas, said Ms Neal would not be making a statement about her husband's removal from the front bench.

Yesterday an official investigation into the matter began, with most of those who signed declarations about the incident due to be interviewed by Gosford detectives.

It is believed that Mr Trotter and Mr Crocker, as well as the co-owner of Iguanas, Dean Singleton, and his brother-in-law, Mr Twitchin, were contacted by police yesterday and asked to meet detectives today.

Mr Singleton would not comment on Mr Iemma's actions, except to repeat his statement from earlier this week. "As far as the ownership and management of Iguanas Waterfront Bar are concerned the matter was finished on Sunday," he said.
