Putting aside the fact that the Essendon board didn’t see the red flashing lights warning them of Andrew Thorburn‘s religious bigotry, they would certainly have known that he was personally singled out by the banking royal commission as someone who hoodwinked NAB customers by, amongst other things, charging for services never provided - something for which he was forced to apologise and which caused his resignation.

Repeat - the Royal Commission chairman singled him out personally, as the senior officer of the NAB, for misconduct (someone who failed to learn the lesson from past misconduct).

Now seriously, why would you ever consider making that person the CEO of your organisation when all of that’s on public record?

What a fabulous article.

And the first sentence is wonderful “… landed like a turd in a punchbowl”.

Sad he’s gone. He would have been a great fit for Essendon. Would have worked in well with Hird as coach.
And Hird rhymes with .. ?

(clue - think of punchbowls)

A tremendous read. This from the AFR article:

On Monday, Essendon president David Barham boasted that, “to my knowledge, no other AFL club has ever secured the services of an ASX-listed top 10 company CEO to run its club”.

Barham omitted a key adjective here. Thorburn is a disgraced former ASX 10 company CEO. No other AFL club has ever secured the services of a disgraced former ASX 10 company CEO for the very good reason that no other AFL club has ever sought to.

The dumbest thing is he was made to resign for his personal beliefs. I’m a bit uncomfortable with that as a precedent and again we have the absolute lack of competence and governance of the Essendon football club to thank. Given his role with NAB he shouldn’t have even been considered. Delight in it for sure it’s the scum after all, but what’s next and to which organisations and roles does this extend? People are now saying men can have babies, if my organisation believes that to be true and I don’t, can I be asked to resign?

No - he was asked to choose which organisation to represent being that they had fairly conflicting views. * have a LGBT supporter group and likely players on their AFLW roster who don’t feel those views represent them. He can have whatever beliefs he likes - he could have given up the director position at his church and chose not to.

Surely there's a messiah complex joke in here involving this nutter and Hird.

I understand but you are saying that his personal views he can only choose to hold if they align with the organisation he professionally works for. My question was is that the path we want to go down and what’s the scope of that need for personal and professional alignment, is at all organisations and jobs going forward?. To be clear I am not commenting on his views I am focused on the broader point.

Not sure how you missed the broader point - he is a director of the church in question. He was given the choice to pick one or the other - he chose the church.

If he happened to attend that church on Sundays it wouldn’t have even come up. It’s got nothing to do with his personal beliefs and everything to do with roles he was taking up. Much like the 7 Manly players from earlier this year are still playing for Manly.
