He could have a legal case against the Dons if they gave him an ultimatum. Textbook discrimination

Bang!

God saved Essendon from Andrew Thorburn

The appointment of the former NAB CEO to run the Essendon Football Club landed like a turd in the punch bowl.

We can only hope, I guess.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I hope he gave 2 weeks notice.

Pretty much when Bard expects him to be back.

He wasn't even there for long enough to get his security photo taken or his official email address which would have been

In 20 odd years, Christianity will not be able to be expressed publically. I remember early on a leader at my church said that it would happen as it is in Revelations and it just keeps on getting supported.

Perhaps it's for the better that homophobic, anti-abortionist views are finally not seen as good Christian values?

Will this latest piece of drama make for an extra chapter in Goddard's book?

Where is Herbatron when you need him. *Essendon broke him.

When North Melbourne have had a tough week, there is always Essendon to come along and make things better.

Always trying to steal our limelight… geez

I find it a bit funny that being singled out for particular criticism by the Haynes Royal Commission and then getting the arse from NAB didn’t seem to matter. Also, the media really aren’t touching this aspect of the story, just the god bothering part.

You'll remember that one of the things that got the Thorburn-led NAB into the s**t in the Royal Commission was their closeness to EY.

And guess which firm recommended Andrew Thorburn for the Essendon gig?

His old friends at EY.

Aren't EY also conducting the external review ?

Well, sort of. EY was part of it but true review was being run by checks notes Andrew Thorburn!

"Whilst he initially came to the club on a short-term basis to coordinate the external review, we believed we couldn't overlook someone of his calibre and that he needed to be tested within our process against the field of candidates.

"When Andrew was approached, he indicated that he would give the opportunity his consideration.

"At this point, he immediately removed himself from any oversight he had of the club's CEO search.

"A week later, he formally entered the process and then interviewed for the role last week, along with the other candidates.

Here's today's update:

"He was then offered, and accepted, the CEO position."

"The next day, he quit."

"We're ****ed".

Question for you “Christians”, if we hired a CEO that belonged to an organisation that believed that white people are the superior race and that black people will burn in hell would that be ok?

 

[Sphynx]

What the hell is a WASP protestant club hiring the Chair of a religious cult as their CEO in the first place. And then he's forced to resign 30 hours later. You can't make this s**t up.

Church on the Hill are Pentecostal - ie- Protestant.

I think the question is completely irrelevant and doesn’t really help in any meaningful discussion.

The counter question would be, if we hired a CEO that restricted aboriginals in their cultural beliefs and asked them to discontinue their association with their local community or cease employment at the football club. Would that be OK?

Careful Charles, next you'll be saying we're all descended from monkeys and all hell will break loose.
