Luke Sayers - PWC Scandal

Remove this Banner Ad

How can Luke Sayers remain as President of Carlton in light of what has been alleged and revealed in this tax scandal at PWC and other businesses involved? Surely it’s untenable. Pressure must be mounting on him to step aside at this point?
Doing corrupt s**t is a rite of passage for Carlton presidents. It's a badge of honour.

Didn't he bail on PwC years ago?

I was actually thinking to myself the other how he dodged the bullet.

PwC used to be a sponsor of Port, but I think that was more our AFL overlords 'assigning' them to us to check our books. They might have bailed on us though, as I don't see them in our 'partners' list any more.
 
Zero chance that the CEO at the time of the alleged activities wasn't aware of a new revenue stream popping up on the books. Needs to be gone yesterday. I suspect other board members will be pressuring him to go. He's also stepped down from the board of his wife's charity (which has had its own issues).
 
I don’t understand how the people who got the information given to them are in trouble not the person who leaked it from the board. If someone gave you the lotto numbers you would be an idiot not to use them

Surely you checked whether he was at PwC when the offence was alleged to have happened. If he wasnt there, this a genuinely low life attempt to slag an opposition club.

Something really creepy about this guy

Well see there is this thing called law.
But I don’t see how he is the one in trouble if he was not the one on the ato board who had the information in privacy at first….? Or was he I don’t know enough, just don’t like to see the people who knew of the information getting in trouble for this when they didn’t really choose to find it out.

Dude, there seems to be a lot to this that you don't understand. One, they are partners so they are all liable for the actions of one partner. Two getting the information and not disclosing it is a problem. Three acting on that information is a problem. Four he was the CEO at the time, the buck stops with old mate (in theory).
 
I don't think his tenure is tenable

Yep, he was there & if he didnt know, he should have known. At worst he should step aside until the whole episode is clarified.

The first time I heard about Chinese walls, I was sceptical. Professional ethics are only as strong as those too weak to abide by them.
 
Anyone who has worked with the APS either as staff or in a consultancy capacity it is made abundantly clear that they are bound by law to not disclose classified content (no sh*t!). Consultancies have access to varying degrees of classified information all the time depending on their security clearance level. Breach of those security protocols has criminal consequences.

The fact that PwC commercialised classified ATO policy information isn't that surprising given ethics are questionable in that field (I've worked with Pwc abroad). What I can't believe is the BS that the CEO would not be aware of the details of the creation of any new revenue stream. Virtually zero chance of that.
