Opinion Former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg tipped to become next AFL CEO. (Edit: He was never approached)

[Aristotle Pickett]

Perhaps Aristotle would like to inform everyone on why the ALP have never fully investigated the allegations in 2021 by ALP Staffers of sexual misconduct by former and present ALP (men) MP's ?

To quote Albo; 'we must do better'. Well Albo you did f**** all.

Maybe also, Christian Porter should have been afforded the assumption that he was innocent (unless proven guilty) that 'Honest' Bill Shorten was some years ago?

Labor MPs face sex assault claims as Plibersek says party must improve

Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek urged Labor women to report allegations of serious misconduct against federal MPs, aired in a private Facebook group.

I don't vote for Albo and Christian Porter is a dog and Frydenburg defended him and didn't bother reading the harrowing 31 page dossier that the victim wrote before she killed herself.

It seems quite odd. Outside hire, nothing resembling experience in the field, and would be naturally divisive.

That's why I thought it was a gag when I first saw it. Even Football Australia hire sports administrators.

 

[citizen-erased]

Benny Gale, surely. Been involved with football a long time and everyone who has worked with him says he's very impressive.
I know people who have worked with him and they all think he'd be excellent in the role.

Makes too much sense for the AFL to do

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

What does he think about transgender folk?

Or has nobody bothered to ask him?…

We don't hate anyone at Richmond mate. Trans people are welcome at our club and we have our own Indigenous center.

 

[Bald]

Sam Edmund said on SEN this morning that this won't be happening.

 

[PowerBaz]

Nice paycheck, nice pension too.

 

[Bombermania]

True, but I don't think the AFL need an ex-politician in that powerful position especially one with his history.

He should be judged on how he performed in his actual role and how he did Scomo's dirty work and that is why you can differently criticise him for how he managed the pandemic stimulus and played games during the pandemic.

 

[Jiggyman]

Hilarious thread. Quality melting.

 

[Mick F]

OK, almost all of your points are his political views and have absolutely nothing to do regarding his ability to run a corporation of this leagues size.

I would have thought he's close to the most qualified person in the leagues history to be in the running for the top job.

I must of missed the years that he was CEO of a major mercantile operation. He was a professional student til about 30 and then a political staffer.

Reading a library book on management doesn’t enable you to engage in situational leadership (aka contingency approach) in the real world.

That’s exactly what the Liberal party would say before pointing at how many Indigenous centres they’ve built…

 

[Malifice]

Stop talking crap mate. He's not qualified at all for starters.

Wut?

He has an LLB and BE (Hons) at Monash. He knocked back a Fullbright scholarship offer at Yale, to do a Masters of International Relations at Oxford. In addition to his Masters at Oxford, he also has a Masters of Public Administration from Harvard.

He's the Former Treasurer of Australia and Former Director at Deutsche bank.

He's overqualified!

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Will be good for funding NSW football !!

Gold Standard football right there

That's an impressive list of positions and degrees that aren't CEO!

Never played football and has divisive views that are not reflective of modern society.

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Port Adelaide will be happy as Josh Frydenberg is not a big fan of Teal either

 

[Malifice]

Never played football

So what? Neither has the current CEO.

and has divisive views that are not reflective of modern society.

What view does he have that are not reflective of modern society exactly? Can you provide a quote please?

On paper, he has an impressive set of qualifications but his work performance fell short of what I would expect from someone with those qualifications.

Running the AFL is entirely different than running the government and there are stronger performing candidates within the AFL community.

Only in Bizzarro land is 'running the AFL' a more demanding or difficult job that 'running the government'.

 

[Sky]

Aren’t we going half a billion dollars in debt a day cause of this twat?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

So what? Neither has the current CEO.

Look through my posts earlier in the thread. He endorsed a transphobe and is against an Indigenous voice in parliament.
Plus he's one of Australia's biggest climate bastards.

 

[Mick F]

Yes mate.

But I think you are assuming every footy fan is engaged in that side of the game.

I don’t know the majority of people are.

It’s not the worst thing in the world or anything, it’s just the reality that it’s not something that is important to a lot of people who enjoy watching the game.

You do realise that if an organisation is not managed effectively it ceases to be.

Find me a quote please. He was a moderate in the Libs, he's no Fraser Anning

 

[Purple Suit]

I think this is why the AFL want him. His stimulus budgeting was appalling in figuring out the actual cost. Imagine what he is going to do with the membership figures that no one gets any data on. Everything is going to look rosey.

 

[hilly]

That was just an example.

They also don’t know or particular care that North Melbourne are on the league’s teet either.

No debt but yeah another VIC CONSPIRACY

This is 100% correct. He racked up 800 billion in debt, f'd up his forecasts by 60 billion dollars on one occasion, handed billions in taxpayer money to companies that were themselves generating record profits, deliberately ****ed the university sector up the arse, and ****ed the energy supply up the arse as well. So he's about as competent as anyone else at the AFL.
