In any functioning organisation, the Board (equivalent) not being told that the CEO (equivalent) had a second job would be fatal to the CEOs position and that of a Chair (equivalent) who did know. www.afr.com/work-and-car... - ThreadSky

No good options. They're either incompetent or corrupt.

Have they not heard of LinkedIn?

See above. The Chancellor now says she approved the other job and didn't tell anyone. Extraordinary. (This isn't a "politician" thing BTW: I've been on boards chaired by ex-pols and there is no way they would have done this.) https://bsky.app/profile/nteuact.bsky.social/post/3lesanzx5ol2h

I reckon there is an increasing chance of this happening with more recent crops of ex-politicians.

Emblematic of poor governance. Surely it must be disclosed to board and the subject of a board resolution? What authority does the chair have, to allow this?

rantlaw.bsky.social•58 days ago

You would think that if it was express authority, the Chancellor would mention it.

katgallow.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes

When a delegation of that kind is exercised, basic good-governance would mean the use is reported.

picketer.bsky.social•58 days ago

And even it wasn't required in some technical policy sense, a Chair who did not report it just doesn't "get it."

Every single member of that Council is entitled to ask "what else haven't you told us?" Just treating them like 'Meat In The Room' while the important people are talking.

It is the most bananas story. Really hard to fathom how it could have happened.
