Title: The ups & downs of Gonski
Post by bogarde73 on May 1st, 2014 at 11:06am
The Gonski, who enjoyed a brief moment basking in the warm praise of the left, has now gone back to leading one the big banks, which the left love to hate.
Where will he rate in the love/hate spectrum now?

Gonski steps up as ANZ chairman

Respected businessman David Gonski takes control in ANZ's boardroom on Thursday, replacing the bank's chairman of four years John Morschel.

Mr Gonski was appointed to the ANZ board in December with the view to taking over from Mr Morschel when he retired on April 30.

"It has been an honour to have served as an ANZ director since 2004 and to have been chairman of ANZ over the past four years," Mr Morschel said.

Mr Gonski, a former chairman of the federal government's Future Fund, previously served as a director for ANZ between 2002 and 2007.

       Interesting, here's a highly qualified financial manager, the breed so beloved of the Liberals.
       He produced a report on the efficient provision of education, one would expect that the Liberals would be glad to have such an assessment and recommendations from one of their own.
       What happens then?
       The Liberals cry with delight and launch into a program of bringing such economic rationalism into a sorely inadequate and inequitable system of course, right?

  Ahhmmmm, sorry, did I miss that somehow? Is the Mad Abbot hiding his light under a barrel there?
    I'm obviously missing something here, perhaps someone can enlighten me?
