To quote the Aust Financial Review from today.
“Following the announcement today by the Australia and New Zealand
Banking Group Limited that I will be joining the ANZ Board in February
2014 and succeeding John Morschel as Chairman in May 2014, I confirm I
will be relinquishing some of my current commitments,” Mr Gonski said.
“I intend to step down as chairman of the guardians of the Future
Fund during January 2014 so as to avoid any possible conflict of
interest with my new position and allowing sufficient time for a smooth
transition and handover to my successor, who will be appointed by the
Federal Government.”

No mention of NEHTA of which he is also Chair. Might be a good time to leave this as well. I am sure ANZ shareholders would like this outcome as the more focus he has on the ANZ the better!

ReplyDeleteAs Chairman of SPC Ardmona via Coca-Cola Amatil, surely hitting up the C'th Gov't for $25M to bail out "BAD MANAGEMENT" for SPC Ardmona is beyond the pale!
How on earth this pillar of Australia's establishment came to be a "pillar of establishment" for Australia is beyond belief considering the poor track record and trail of destruction left in his royal wake.
Explains it all when it comes to appreciating the dysfunctionality and abuse of taxpayers money where NEHTA is concerned and the related PCEHR with Mr Gonski at their corporate governance helm!
ANZ Shareholders: Sell, Sell, Sell.
What a blight on Australia's "elite" and establishment joke!
In the twisted words of the retired Hon Mr Rudd, a “Fair shake of the sauce bottle” this is far from exhibiting…
