Four former Racing Queensland board execs pocket $1.8mil
BRISBANE, July 10 AAP- Four former Racing Queensland board
executives pocketed more than $1.8 million when they resigned after
the state election, an auditor-general's report has found.
The report, tabled in state parliament on Tuesday, says a clause
added to their contracts in August last year ensured they received
a 30 per cent salary increase.
It says Malcolm Tuttle, Jamie Orchard, Paul Brennan and Shara
Reid were paid a total of $1.8 million when they resigned from the
board, two days after the Labor government lost the state election
in March.
The payouts included 14 months' salary, redundancy payments and
their statutory leave entitlements.
Racing Minister Steve Dickson says the report raises serious
questions.
"There can be no doubt that the (Racing Queensland) board put in
place extraordinarily favourable employment arrangements that
delivered these executives the sweetheart deal of the century," Mr
Dickson said in a statement.
"At a time when the racing industry was on its knees this money
could have been used in any number of ways."

Typical Labor Party largess. Do as I say, not as I do.
At least they got the arse and good riddance. Fingers crossed the Bastards will be in the political wilderness for 20 years at both State & Federal level. Their dastardly deeds are numerous & heinous in nature. What an absolute bloody disgrace.

The coronial inquiry continues into the attempted murder of the Qld racing industry by former stakeholders...at this rate charges may well be levelled at those who have done wrong, just before they expire from old age themselves. Still, it hasn't been swept over by Campbells gov't, indeed they appear to be prepared to widen the scope of inquiry to get some justice.

I got chipped for having a sly go at the powers that be using oblique references because my comments were not strictly referring to Harness Racing matters.
How do the quoted comments refer to harness racing matters? Different strokes for different folks?
I reckon.

Clearly the quoted comments refer to issues with harness racing when those that are being discussed in this very old post were those providing funding and governance of the harness racing in Queensland at the time.
Your reference to this old posting as related to what you may have posted and their relationship is clearly mischievous!!

I beg to dis-agree.The comments made were a blatant political tirade and at no point did they make reference to harness
racing.I stick to different strokes etc. but I promise to be a good boy in future and not criticize.(anyone).
How mischevious of you Ron!!
Surely you have been an active member of this forum for long enough to KNOW there are different strokes for (very) different folks without having to open old wounds and actually ask the question!!!!!
best to let sleeping dogs lie, I reckon, especially the dogs I'm thinking of.
Geeze....the Labor Trolls really get around eh?
As usual, half right,if the fog ever lifts, who knows? he might end up getting better than 50% in his next test.
This comment is of course directly related to Harness Racing,HA HA HA.
