You’re right GD – on all counts; but, given the battle Boyd and crew must have fought to get this far and to perhaps create a situation where someone like Carmody or Smith could actually get some clear air to operate in is no mean achievement.  Boyd has never, ever looked like reneging on commitment to the Forsyth review; this alone sets him and his board apart.  Hardly the night of the long knives – but one small step forward gained is momentum, with industry supporting Boyd and the board – there is a faint (one candle power) chance of true reform.  FWIW, well done to the board and to Jeff for not wavering and honouring the promises made .

Now, ff we could only get Oliver Twist to sing from the same hymn sheet and off his beam ends then, with some educated help, we could see some positives emerge from the blood and shit which must be strewn about the boardroom floor.
