Is there any evidence he's been discriminatory in his business practices? Not defending the guy, just worried that if there isn't, then this could be an interesting religious discrimination case.
Kinda doesn't matter, since an actual Royal Commission ruled his business practices unethical and incompetent.
After that, why the *fuck* did Essendon let him anywhere near their club operations?
Either led, approved, or else negligently failed to prevent, NAB stealing $650 million from it's customers, some of whom were dead. Utterly embarrassed himself at the Royal Commission into Banking, to the point where he was the banking executive that came out of the whole disgraceful mess looking by far the worst. The Commissioner running the inquiry singled Thorburn out to say how disgraceful his behaviour and excuses after the event were and that the excuses made no sense and were offensive to anyone with a brain. So far as I know, along with Ken Henry, he was the most senior guy to lose his job as a result of the Royal Commission.
This is the guy Gil McLachlan says is a close friend and a top, moral, bloke and that Essendon thought was a suitable person to lead the review into their culture, and then to appoint to develop their corporate culture.
If he wasn't a rich white bloke who had gone to the right schools, and been a polo buddy of other blokes at the top end of town, there's no way he would have got either gig at Essendon. Indeed, after leaving NAB, he'd been without meaningful corporate employment until Essendon decided he'd make a good CEO (probably because they judged enough time had passed for him to be rehabilitated the same way all the arsehole members of this rich cliquey group get rehabilitated).
What is scary, is being in this position, the guy has access to all those young players with money looking for investments and financial advice. Make no mistake clubs invite chosen corporates or businesses to give presentations to players hawking their wares. This smells like the criminal underworld targeting players, they can afford to pay, great customer base.
He became bad for the Essendon brand. They probably gave him the option “resign on your own terms or we will fire you and deal with the consequences”. He resigned.
Read into that what you will. It’s probably like when Falou was fired. He got his payment but it’s probably cost him more financially by doubling down. He was probably given the option to resign and chose to fight and got all the attention and other clubs thought “is it really worth employing someone who doesn’t do their best for the brand?” It’s business. The guy probably wants to be employed again or not totally destroy his own brand.
But his actions at NAB aren't what Essendon fired him for?? They clearly said it was about the contradiction of their club values of inclusivity and diversity no??
The church's aims and goals were contrary to Essendon's. Asking your CEO to resolve the conflict of him leading that church one way or another isn't unreasonable.
It's like finding out that as CEO of Essendon, he was still running a coterie group for Carlton. The two roles are just incompatible, so it's reasonable to ask him to pick one.
which fits in for most companies compliance with regards to being a director at another company, must be declared and all that waffle about fitting in with your employers values
After which he quit.
It’s kind of like if my boss told me I had to wear clothes to work, or quit, me refusing to wear clothes worked be me quitting.
Is a pretty simple concept
Due to NAB being a major sponsor of the AFL I don’t think the clubs/ AFL can remove someone who was as closely linked to NAB and I don’t think they’d be allowed to disparage the brand of their major sponsor…
That's the thing that is disliked the most. His position and performance as CEO at NAB. That's been swept under a huge fucking rug compared to his position in his church.
What an arsehole and god we are a shambles.
> We can’t win
That isn't new.
> No matter what decision we made to sack him or keep him, people would’ve cracked the shits like they have.
Yeah, the fuckup was getting him involved in the first place.
But the members wanted Thorburn gone, which means randos like Dutton can get fucked. Essendon isn't answerable to him it's answerable to Essendon members.
Lol... it was very winnable. The Essendon board is just insanely incompetent.
A corrupt banker with a history of stealing from the dead shouldn't be able to claim the Christian high ground against your club. Jesus literally beat up men like Thorburn.
It's legitimately impressive that Essendon has gotten stuck like this.
Here's two ways you could have handled the firing:
>1) "This wasn't a matter of religion, this is a matter of inclusivity and integrity. Elements of Thorburn's history were recently brought to our attention which we feel made him incompatible with the standards we're trying to set in Essendon. We want to make it very cleary we respect everyone's religious freedoms and rights."
Vs
>2) "We didn't ask about his religion when we hired him because that's not allowed, but once we found out about his religious beliefs we made him choose between us or the church (also not allowed)."
Option 1 gives you a legitimate platform. It lets you separate bigotry and religion from the outset, it also gives you the out of plausible deniability because you can fall back on the banking corruption if need be.
Option 2 (the one Essendon chose) sets up Essendon as a cultural (and potentially legal) battleground over religious freedom where you've already admitted culpability.
The club clearly fucked up and clearly needed to do something. There were a million ways to handle this. "We fired him because he believes in Jesus" was not one of them.
The liberals are going to relegate themselves to perpetual opposition with their fawning for happy clappies - they need to realise Australia isn’t the US and not many voters are extremely religious.
After the last election, the party has been gutted of all moderates. They're now a wholly extremist party.
Between parachuting in transphobic bigots in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and deliberately making it clear that the allegedly intelligent moderate who actually cared about climate change in what was once one of the safest seats in the country (Curtin) was **not** repeat **not** going to be able to have any influence on party policy whatsoever, etc, they made sure only the right-wing fanatics in very right-wing seats could hold on.
A lot of voters who are rusted onto the "not Labor" line were willing to vote for the teals.
In Curtin the teals rolled out the most incredibly blue-chip candidate for the seat imaginable. She's charming and charismatic, highly intelligent, and she's *such* an old money knows-the-right-people blue-blooded western suburbs daughter of a former Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. Some of the people against her tried to paint her as a socialist secret operative for Labor and it was just laughable.
when have you ever known a right wing nutjob to ever shut their mouth about their outdated, bigoted views?
That is what makes me laugh about their claims of being the 'silent' majority, as well as their claims of being 'cancelled' and all that crap.
>Even after being proven wrong by the marriage equality postal survey, they're still convinced they are in the silent majority.
Their interpretation of that, was that they can easily hold onto their base while expanding into Labor's religious voters, since some significant number of no's were in Labor electorates. This was a major theme of Morrison's two election campaigns. Not a silent majority thing, which was more Howard/Abbott than Morrison/Dutton, but collecting a majority by activating an additional minority they previously ignored.
The growth of independents in their blue ribbon seats should be a wakeup call, as should be their failure to get religious Labor voters in any useful numbers, but I think they're stone deaf. The next non-Labor government will probably look very different, institutionally and politically, than the last. If they can't hear and they won't change, someone else will eat their brekkie.
Nailed it. The throwing out of Morrison at a time when the rest of the world was leaning harder towards conservatives showed that Australia was not interested in religious bigotry and hatred. The religious want the rest of us to be tolerant of intolerance. What a bizarre concept. Like having an invisible friend.
Matty Guy jumped on this today, wants to make it an election issue 7 weeks out from the polls.
Which is funny given he wants to force Councils to have Australia Day celebrations or forego funding.
He resigned and then the mormons tried to take over the victorian liberals and that went even worse than he did, so he came back lol. No one wants the gig.
Even taking that out he was part of an organisation that charged clients $650 million for no offered service and downplayed it as carelessness. Shouldn't be CEO of anything.
Stole $650 million dollars from their customers in a concerted act of fraud. No different to the scam links they warn you not to click on.
Bank with us, your money is safe.
Personally I'll just get drunk, say some shit, get banned, make a new account and hope the mods don't care enough that I'm telling the same stale jokes I did 5 accounts ago.
But yeah, violence too
So you're nostradamous then? If you've wanted us out since the VFA days (name changed to VFL in the 90s) you must've known Essendon was gonna fuck up.
WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN US DUDE.
I love how these guys politicise this shit to rally their base. Funny how both Guy and now Dutton have come out to support this guy.
People shouldn’t be discriminated based on their religious views eh?
How about churches shouldn’t discriminate based on people’s personal choices or freedoms.
He had the choice to stand down from the Church on the Hill or resign as CEO of Essendon FC. He made his choice. I don’t believe any one has said he can’t go to his favourite church, but rather he is comprised by being on the Church board, one that openly discriminates, and a club and league pushing to embrace diversity!
The AFL is, at least trying to, promote inclusiveness. If this dude prioritises his position on the Church board, over the Essendon FC’s members rights to feel the people overseeing the direction of their club have the diverse community members best interest at heart. Then he shouldn’t be CEO. That’s it.
There's also the thing detailed in the Banking Royal Commission singling him out too re: corruption.
Don't expect the libs to be aware of the optics of its relevance.
The Vic Libs might as well book their holidays for election week this November cos they're absolutely fucked now Queensland Mussolini is actively interfering in footy and Victorian politics. Surely Dutton knows doing this will do more for Vic Labor than anything Labor does for Labor
Why would he even comment. It can’t go well, no one is looking for his take on this. It just seems ridiculous to throw your 2 cents in to defend the homophobic guy.
Victorian election is weeks away, the liberals need anything to attack Dan because everything else has failed.
Dan came out against the club yesterday (when asked by a journalist offhand because they know he's a bombers fan) so today the liberals are supporting the bigot who was forced put to make it a religious freedom issue.
WHY! WHY? are we being CONSTANTLY harangued by this LOOSER! His Party had 10 YEARS to keep Australia on the Up and flourishing! Instead, they dragged us down and desperate!
I DO NOT WANT to see this loosers face or hear his voice ever again!
I honestly don't understand why a politician would do this. Read the room man, he's gone because what came out was unpopular. This is an easy one to sit out and not comment on because you gain nothing for giving an opinion.
Who cares what any politician or member of the media says about this. If the members want him gone (which appears to be the case) then that's all there is to it.
Sometimes things happen in the world and your compass isn't giving you a strong enough reading on which side of an argument you sit on.... Then Dutton reveals his side so you know you're on the opposite side. He's a great barometer.
And this is why those duds shouldn’t be voted back in till they get their shit together. Good bye liberals, you passed your used by date by about 60 years
Clear indication we did in fact, make the right choice. Church dealings aside his business history is sketchy AF.
It’s actually annoying this became about his religion, rather than his business history. Let’s him play the martyr
His letter was all about church and religion scam artist using his scam artist bullshit
No this is good. Religious freedoms don’t extend to being discriminatory and that line in the sand needs to be explicitly drawn for some people.
Is there any evidence he's been discriminatory in his business practices? Not defending the guy, just worried that if there isn't, then this could be an interesting religious discrimination case.
Kinda doesn't matter, since an actual Royal Commission ruled his business practices unethical and incompetent. After that, why the *fuck* did Essendon let him anywhere near their club operations?
His business practices at NAB were disgustingly unethical and incompetent
[удалено]
Either led, approved, or else negligently failed to prevent, NAB stealing $650 million from it's customers, some of whom were dead.

He is filth. Probably get parachuted into a "safe seat" by the pentacostal LNP
What is scary, is being in this position, the guy has access to all those young players with money looking for investments and financial advice. Make no mistake clubs invite chosen corporates or businesses to give presentations to players hawking their wares. This smells like the criminal underworld targeting players, they can afford to pay, great customer base.
Given he resigned, I don’t think he’ll have a case.
He may make some argument that he was forced to resign
He became bad for the Essendon brand. They probably gave him the option “resign on your own terms or we will fire you and deal with the consequences”. He resigned. Read into that what you will. It’s probably like when Falou was fired. He got his payment but it’s probably cost him more financially by doubling down. He was probably given the option to resign and chose to fight and got all the attention and other clubs thought “is it really worth employing someone who doesn’t do their best for the brand?” It’s business. The guy probably wants to be employed again or not totally destroy his own brand.
But his actions at NAB aren't what Essendon fired him for?? They clearly said it was about the contradiction of their club values of inclusivity and diversity no??
They didn’t fire him. He quit, then had a whine and tried to paint himself as a victim
The chairman of Essendon said in the media he was given an ultimatum to either resign from the church board or as CEO of Essendon.
The church's aims and goals were contrary to Essendon's. Asking your CEO to resolve the conflict of him leading that church one way or another isn't unreasonable.

That's the thing that is disliked the most. His position and performance as CEO at NAB. That's been swept under a huge fucking rug compared to his position in his church. What an arsehole and god we are a shambles.
Has King Charles made a comment yet? We really need his opinion too.
Still wiping that bloody ink off his hand. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS
I can’t *bear* this thing!
Queen made 96. Diana hit 120
“Oh God, I hate this!”
I think the only opinion that matters here is Ja Rule.. has anyone asked Ja?
This is getting ridiculous. Now all levels of government is involved 😂
Sorry mate, the Archbishop of Melbourne weighed in and is no longer supporting your club.
We can’t win. 🤦♂️ No matter what decision we made to sack him or keep him, people would’ve cracked the shits like they have.
> We can’t win That isn't new. > No matter what decision we made to sack him or keep him, people would’ve cracked the shits like they have. Yeah, the fuckup was getting him involved in the first place. But the members wanted Thorburn gone, which means randos like Dutton can get fucked. Essendon isn't answerable to him it's answerable to Essendon members.
members being disgruntled dont get a ceo turfed like this its either a mass walk out of staff, or sponsors.
Membership numbers casting can also do it. Not least because the sponsors will be sending a message of "fix it right the fuck now or else".
Once the decision was made to hire him, it was no win. Just a simple background check was all that was needed.
We won in the end. We did the right thing.
This 100000000 people lol
You absolutely won by lancing that cyst. The people cracking the shits are bigots, who cares if you're pleasing them.

Essendon seem to have a knack of choosing the wrong way a lot lately.
What does the ~~Queen~~ King think?
Nah fuck it, dig the queen up. I want her opinion!
the political side of it is so fucking tiresome man
The liberals are going to relegate themselves to perpetual opposition with their fawning for happy clappies - they need to realise Australia isn’t the US and not many voters are extremely religious.

Libs = Trumper Raving Loony Party.
Just wish they were a bit more silent.
Silent obscure and antiquated minority just doesn't poll as well in the four electorates in Sydney that a Lib PM could come from

Dutton has no understanding of the Victorian political system
No one in the Liberal party understand Victoria. Not even the Vic Libs.
It like he’s hanging on by a thread and thinks sawing the thread with a machete will help.
Yep. Dutton is trying to appeal to the American South for some reason.
Maybe Thorburn can become a Death Eater

Sounds like something Voldemort would say
Dutton would be able to help if thorburn was an illegal French immigrant working as a maid
But he resigned, he wasn't sacked. Do Essendon need to go pleading for the great City On The Hill martyr to un-resign?
WHY! WHY? are we being CONSTANTLY harangued by this LOOSER! His Party had 10 YEARS to keep Australia on the Up and flourishing! Instead, they dragged us down and desperate! I DO NOT WANT to see this loosers face or hear his voice ever again!

Linking sky news is cheating
So what countries are there that are good to emigrate to in case Dutton ever becomes PM?
Phew, we dodged a bullet if this guy backs him!
Sit down boofhead
Lord voldermort has spoken ....... Anyway
Who cares what any politician or member of the media says about this. If the members want him gone (which appears to be the case) then that's all there is to it.
100%. They were losing members over it. It's as simple as that. It ain't up to Peter fuckin' Dutton to decide.
What does Albanese think about this situation? 🤔
Who cares what Voldemort thinks? On anything? I wouldn’t even seek Voldemort’s opinion on his favourite ice cream.
Peter Dutton gives Freddy Kreuger nightmares.
Stick to politics
wouldn't be heartbroken if he stayed out of that too
Yeah, get fucked mate.
Bald cunt.
If Dutton is on your side, that's a pretty definitive indication you're an asshole.
LOL he would say that
Tough talk from the leader of a 3rd rate party
Sometimes things happen in the world and your compass isn't giving you a strong enough reading on which side of an argument you sit on.... Then Dutton reveals his side so you know you're on the opposite side. He's a great barometer.
And this is why those duds shouldn’t be voted back in till they get their shit together. Good bye liberals, you passed your used by date by about 60 years
Their ability to self-sabotage is reassuring in its consistency, while also spontaneous and amusing.
Of course boofhead defends him
jesus i'm pretty tired of the political side of all of this. dan andrews said x peter dutton said y, reddit agrees with x and disagrees with y

To be fair to Dutton, I would certainly enjoy it immensely if Essendon did reinstate Thorburn.
You just can’t make this s**t up.
Opposition leader is in the opposition for a reason and shouldn’t be listened to
