God, I loathe the debenture system and hate the governing effect it has on our club WT, the HBG and the Wests Magpies. The debenture system has to be buried at some stage, no idea how / when, but it is a crook, self interested way of governance influence- and its not as though the holders have had to put in huge amounts of $$$- $100 FFS, if it was $1m I could understand more. 🤑

Thinking more about this- I reckon the best way to ease out the debenture system with Magpies / HBG / Tigers is to stop any new membership to the debenture rolls from now on and eventually by attrition the number of holders will go down and eventually die out. Of course, the debenture holders would have to agree.

In the interim we would have to continue with the current methods but as debenture numbers reduce, those involved in governance would be replaced as their numbers reduce by normally selected members outside the debenture cartel.

Too long. There is enough evidence now that the club isn't being run properly and that the governance structures do not work.

Surely it goes against some sort of legislation under the Clubs act. Pay them back their $100 and move those seats to a full members vote.

Amazing how Julie has been played like a puppet in all this. If only she were smart enough to side with the other 3 before kicking them out.

Erm, I'd stop short of calling her a murdering Fascist thug aye. She's been involved with the Magpies for a very, very long time..., and while yea a debenture costs 100 bucks, pretty sure there was many hours free volunteer efforts from Julie going back decades when no-one was interested in the future of Wests. Like ran the supporters club from the 80s onward right?

She's still on the Board. She just got voted out as chair. I don't hate them, they're not evil, it's just that we live in the world of multi-million dollar professional sports now, the world has mostly changed around them but that Board still behaves like its a lawn bowls club in the late 70s or a local community theatre group.

Um,
you might have missed her 8 year suspension in the last week or so.

Liquor and Gaming really need to look at this section

Appointment of a Temporary Administrator (RCA S.41A): If, in the opinion of the Authority, the club's governing body has ceased to be effective or the club is not being conducted in good faith, ILGA may appoint an administrator who assumes all the functions of the governing body. This administrator could then take steps, potentially including amending the constitution (subject to legal advice and member consultation), to restore a proper governance structure.

Forced removal of 4 board members in the space of 12 months, in 2 separate events, should be sufficient evidence that the club's governance has ceased to be effective and conducted in bad faith.

...and all they need to do is pay the debenture holders their dues and remove that from club governance. They don't even need to remove the board members, just ensure that they are subject to an election.

Who were these “randoms” ?
Got any names?
Asking for a friend 🤔

BZN had like 4 accounts where he was talking to himself and you intermittently , whilst stirring shit with Garry /cochise . Didn’t know Denny personally , but sure had a lot to say to how good of a bloke he was for someone he didn’t know …

"Fame" by association

I once met Choc Mundine, doesnt mean im in his crew.
(good bloke away from cameras)

Met him on the Gold Coast when I was a teenager. Awesome guy. Gave me an autograph saying “You’re the man but I’m the king”. Still have it somewhere.

An ongoing targeted harrassment campaign using publicly available information might be the only way to get through to these Muppets.
Dissolve the debenture system. Appoint skilled leaders to run WA. Remove all debenture holders from HBG. Have the entire HBG made up of independents

"an ongoing targeted harassment campaign".
I reckon a few people on here have been subjected to that 🤔.

Some from you.

Liquor & Gaming should look closely at s.41A, four board removals in a year clearly show governance has failed. Time for an administrator to reset the structure, pay out debenture holders, and open the door for a private consortium of smart operators who can work with Ashfield and Campbelltown but run the club properly.

Wiggle it just a little bit.

Denny Burgess was never really in The Masters Apprentices. He played like 2 tiny shows as part of an abortive effort to get the back together without Glen Wheatley. He's like the Ray Cashmere of that band. He's a never was.

The scale of the banality is so massive, you almost have to kind of admire it... ya have to give the devil his due, that article describes his effort to join the Wests Tigers board as quixotic, and now he is the Chairman of the entity that owns 90% of the bloody thing!

To be fair i don't think he goes around claiming to have been in the Masters - its more the media that puts that out there. The band he was in, The Throb were quite a good albeit widely unknown garage band in the 60's.
