NAB CEO Andrew Thorburn and chair Ken Henry resign in the wake of banking royal commission.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-07/nab-ceo-and-chairman-both-resign-after-ro...

By Stephanie Chalmers, Stephen Letts and staff

Updated 19 minutes ago

Ken Henry says he and outgoing NAB CEO Andrew Thorburn are "deeply sorry", after both men announced their departures from the bank in the wake of criticism from royal commissioner Kenneth Hayne.
Key points:

Both men were singled out for criticism by commissioner Kenneth Hayne
Former ANZ executive Philip Chronican will be acting CEO
The bank had faced an unprecedented shareholder revolt at the end of last year

Mr Thorburn will leave at the end of the month, while Dr Henry will stay on in his role of chairman until a new, permanent chief executive is appointed.

In the banking royal commission's final report released on Monday, Mr Hayne said he had doubts that NAB had learned from its past mistakes, and criticised Mr Thorburn's characterisation of the fees-for-no-service scandal as "nothing more than carelessness".

"We're deeply sorry. We're saying we are deeply sorry," Dr Henry told ABC TV's 7.30.

"In our departures we are hoping that we will contribute to the development of a better industry that's capable of delivering better outcomes for customers.

"They shouldn't [take their business elsewhere] because NAB is demonstrating it's absolutely committed to building a better bank."

But Norway has a sovereign wealth fund probably worth 1 trillion by now and they have a 78% super profits tax. Obviously Henry didn't know what he was doing. He should stick to robbing mums and dads investors. He is quite good at it Wink

Poor petal. Ken Henry designed a suite of reforms that were supposed to work in tandem. That is as a unit.

Dear old Swanny cherry picked one out of the suite of reforms and thought it would do the job by itself.

Fossil fuels can be used to make chemicals, not just for burning.

Because Ken Henry was the best thing since sliced bread when Labor were in Government. The "root and branch" tax reform. Well we know which part Swanny gave us. Wink

Where did I defend him?

You are deflecting from the fact Henry ran a rip off racket and are trying to derail the thread as usual you dickhead....Why don't you actually address the topic of the thread for a change and stop posting irrelevant bullshit???
