Merry Christmas to Peter Wilson. When it was suggested that Peter Wilson should be independent of the old board so that we can have a fresh start Peter responded with "That's your issue".

Re: Where are IRP Reports and IRP Review Panels website?
That's BS because the page on the CPA Australia website that I referred to was also missing and is back now.

Re: AFR 11th Dec 2017 - Malley's links with Peter Wilson
And like another narcissist (but a very successful one), Malley labels the media coverage that led to his ouster as "fake news". Yawn. Referring to Sam Dastyari's dual sackings, Malley told Smith two Fridays back that he "haven't [sic] had one sacking. I got a payout, for the record." Say what? Her...

At the Senate hearing this arvo Wade kept a straight face and said it wasn''t a waste of money. It was expected,. It was a long term project which would suffer losses in its formative years. Xenophon asked them to forward a copy of their corporate plan (it's due Friday).

Re: Announcement from the Board of CPA Australia
I wonder if this announcement, a mere two days after the Senate committee stated they would call the remaining board members, merely coincidental.
Does this mean they don't have to comply with the request? I hope not. We need to hear them being questioned.
