Peter Costello:
“After nearly eleven years on the Board of Nine Entertainment Company (NEC) and more than eight years as Chair, I had flagged retiring from the Board some time after the July Olympics and by the AGM in November at latest”
Seems convenient

Very.
It’s all spin, I wonder if the people that write these things actually believe people will buy it. It’s a joke

I think he realised there was no coming back from shirtfronting a journalist which caused him to fall backwards, when it was caught on camera.

Agree, the “he fell into an advertising placard” reason just didn’t wash with the general public.

Wonder if the airport security CCTV video would have been a factor. Not released (yet) AFAIK.

Surprising news 
Shaun Micallef
May I say how honoured I am to have been named the new Chair of the Nine Entertainment Board. I’d like thank Peter for his excellent stewardship over the years and also announce that Married at First Sight is axed.

Would be great but after Micallef Tonisht got renewed and then axed in the same week it’s probably a bit unlikely!

Hope his first act will be to restore the ACA Dancer

I’d want to see included in all board and staff meetings “Shaun On His High Horse”.

According to Seven now calls for the resignation of Mike Sneesby. Though not noted as much in other media outlets yet. Nine making headlines for the wrong reasons at the moment.

Why is Snessby making a resignation. He didn’t do anything.
Presumably due to the poor handling of the allegations against Wick.

So in other words, Seven wants Sneesby gone (no doubt some retribution for Nine’s coverage Seven’s recent woes)
