Goyder gone. Now sack Hudson

The inevitable has come for the Qantas tin-eared chairman:

Qantas has announced chairman Richard Goyder will retire before the airline’s annual general meeting on November 3.

Now, what is the new CEO? Vanessa Hudson was CFO during all the scandals that have sunk both the CEO and Chairman.

As CFO, her fingerprints were all over cost fiddles like the illegally sacking workers. Not to mention the alleged fraud of selling seats that did not exist.

It is wildly inappropriate that she remain in the executive team, let alone the new CEO.

Sack Hudson!
