Ann: CTM ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW CHAIRMAN, page-2

Well he sounds like a good guy. Not a good choice for an organisation with funny business in the accounts. Would be unlikely to get anything irregular past him! He would be unlikely to let anything risk his reputation I would think.

Through the prism of whether the accounts are accurate or not - he is an excellent choice as Chair. Welcome on board mate!!! Ignore that Joe guy at the AFR - lol - don't sue him - we need a laugh every now and then.
