    If Milne stays and the board lets him, neither have a shred of credibility. And any appointment they make should be similarly regarded. No MD who takes the job seriously could accept the imprimatur of this board.

        I nearly choked on my caviar when I heard Scummo call it an independent board.

        I'm generally not in favour of a new government coming in and clearing out the old appointments, but in this case it seems that's required. Shorten must sack the liberal cronies on the ABC board immediately after the next election.

        Milne was appointed on April Fools' Day, 2017. He can hold the position until 2022. He can't be sacked. He can only resign. That was the Nomination Panel I referred to in my tweet, not the Board Senor Goat.https://twitter.com/MSMWatchdog2013/status/1044855495629189125 …

        So there's no mechanism to remove him even if there's evidence of wrongdoing?

        If David Anderson, the replacement ABC Chief, has any good sense he'll soon know who on the board will pressure Milne to quit. He can then enable a spill or a split. If the board rattles too much and topples, that'll be just fine, so the ABC can start again.

        Here’s the thing. The board are smart enough to heed advice they need to do this, but not smart enough to know why. #auspol #abc #itsaproblem

        Couldn’t possibly stay. As you say. No credibility. How does he, or the board for that matter ever front up to a presentation? It’s not possible.
