As reported late last week, the New South Wales Game Council is no longer.
The State Government accepted the key recommendations of Steve Dunn who conducted a governance review into the organisation.
As the former Director-General of the NSW Maritime Authority, Mr Dunn says he was brought up on a farm in England in a place where firearms were commonplace.
In his first interview about the review, which is now known as the Dunn Report, Mr Dunn says he only had the terms of reference to conduct the review 'warts-and-all'.
"It was refreshing (to speak with people from the Game Council) who were open and frank," he said.
"There was already quite a lot of anxiety about the issues the Game Council was facing and there was recognition that there were some issues that needed to be addressed and a willingness to give me all the information that I needed to help me draw my conclusions.
Mr Dunn says the Game Council achieved a lot during its existence.
"They've put too much emphasis on their outward activities and not enough on their internal governance structures," Mr Dunn said.
"The people that are involved will no doubt have issues with some elements of the report.
"They may think other elements are worthwhile."
Steve Dunn speaks to ABC Central West's Angela Owens about his review into Game Council.
The author of the controversial report into the Game Council explains his findings.
