Sorry Doc, forgotten how to tag. And I wasn't having a shot, I'm chewing the fat. It's a topic worthy of debate.
Yup true anyone can. But only a select few are lauded for that support. If the club hadn't considered him an eminent person, how did he get the gig in the first place?
The list of honourary members are individuals who have served their institutions and by extension the public with distinction. The kindest description I can think of for Pell is complete professional failure. No moral outrage here, clear professional failure.
In a criminal trial, the jury is guided and instructed by the judge as to what facts exist for them to reach a conclusion. The RFC booting Pell to the curb from our honourary list will have zero influence on a jury dealing with events that may have happened who knows when ago in the distant past.
But if the charges can't meet beyond reasonable doubt, what then? By doing nothing, Gale implies we should keep him as an eminent RFC representative if the DPP cannot prove he is a peadophile. I call bullshit.
I hope RFCOfficial is across this thread. Memo to Gale...governance is your complete responsibility. If you have these roll calls, ffs review them in light of current events and act accordingly. You have been caught in no man's land because you should have acted way earlier. Did the existence and interim outcome of a Royal Commission escape your attention?
