Several commission employees, speaking on the condition of not being publicly identified, have in the past week raised concerns about senior officials using public funds for international travel on matters external to their responsibilities in regulating the building industry.

Much of this travel related to the World Green Building Council, which Mr Arnel chaired for many years. The commission's chief financial officer, Paul Crapper, was also on the audit committee of the building council.

The World Green Building Council doesn't appear in your LinkedIn, that you've directed us to multiple times?

Under projects it does. The articles you quote reflected those pushed as a result of a change of government.

Ah yes, you have to expand it all out and search in detail, fair enough.

Can I ask why when we were talking media before you didn't mention your dealings with journos that are really easily to find with a simple Google search?

And the articles I quote reflect an investigation rather than change of government,.

So comrades, where are we on de Rauch these days? Hero or villain?

Neither. Not to big note anyone here or even me, but aware of meetings last year where he was pushing for a change. And he was right to (like anyone else) at the time.

I feel that pressure produced the board to react and make significent changes. Ones that I'm happy with, which is why they'll get my vote.
 
If De Rauch is backing Paul, then I think that should be made transparent in the interest of probity.
I have no idea if they know each other tbh. But I suppose then all candidates should declare who their supporters are.

KANGAROOS powerbroker Peter de Rauch last night launched his bid for control of the club revealing his preferred board and claiming the Roos would be better off without chairman Graham Duff.

"We are not naming a team but we are saying the following people embrace what we are about.

"Carolyn Carnegie, Joseph Connellan, myself, Fulvio Inserra, John Nicholson, Maurice Reilly and John Magowan on the shareholders side of the equation, and on the members' one, Ron Joseph and the two Brayshaws as well as Mark Perkins and Paul Crapper.

 
As if you didn't know that gokangas ffs.
 
Ok- looks clear. Not an important factor to me.

You can bullshit with the best of them mate, you really really can.

It is a shame Paul Crapper didn't make it onto the board then imo.

I really don’t care who knows who. If I stood people would start to align me with people I know - doesn't mean they are supporting me. But if De Rauch is associated with Crapper then it would not cloud my judgement on who to vote for tbh. Pete did a lot of good for our club in his time, especially in $$$$s.

No BS - I had not heard Crappers name tbh until this nomination. I have never met him and still haven’t. Linking him to De Rauch changes nothing for me. Did he run then?

Pete's $$$ were and still are much needed, not criticising him.

And as I said above, its a shame Paul didn't get onto the board back then.

I would have voted for him this time round if he could answer a straight question and wasn't rude to me lol.

I'm not entirely sure why we need Arch on the board being completely honest.

OK, you who was very deeply involved - and I'm very glad you were - in the events around 2006/07 and the Gold Coast murder plot didn't know this bloke who was running for the board then, never heard his name.

You know, many people would find that somewhat hard to believe, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I believe you but seriously did not remember his name - doesn’t change anything for me but thats the truth.

Wtf?

I linked a direct quote from PdR?

Ummmm - I accept that, no problems. Not sure what your wtf means. Just saying I don’t recall him probably more as I have never met the man that I can recall. Have met most of the others on that list and know a couple very well. Again, doesn’t change anything for me.

Only one of the nominees was on the board at the time, I thought?

The other two nominees are clearly endorsed by said board. At least they put their cards on the table, unlike other candidates.
 
It is like boomers don't understand that all this shit is one Google search away.
