Is that really an issue We've had people like that in charge before and it hasn't helped You would hope he demands accountability from those that he eventually puts into key positions, not the dressed up garbage we saw from people like Bayliss and Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel better if I knew he had ever been to the races since he was a student, or if he had a TAB or BF account and had an odd bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngakonui grass Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 He will surround himself with those that are in the know and go from there. I only hope none of them are those self interest chaps from several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globederby19 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Pardon the "expression" but do you think they(the hard heads) would listen to a "carpet licker", in all reality. No I don't think they would take her seriously to be honest. Call it Patriarchal bias but her gender leaning ways maybe a detrimental factor. Good on her for her fresh ideas, speaking out, and passion. Adolf had it in spades. Pardon my normal demeanour Hesi. Im not a Green fan or a Cloe fan either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who they take note of - if they make the rules. I'm no greenie, couldn't give a toss about their political views or their gender preferences. But more staid old men - sounds perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
