One member of the Essendon board is Dorothy Hisgrove. 

Two things.  With that history, Dorothy is a world authority on bullshit.  And she knows all about Mr Thorburn. 

According to The Age, Dorothy was assigned to support consultant EY’s work on the process of selecting a CEO.

That makes her position very interesting for all sorts of reasons.

It has been a while since I looked up ‘imputed knowledge’, but I would like to see her explanation of the part she played as an experienced executive whose role generally has been to promote the elixirs of inclusion and diversity.

Agatha Christie may have had trouble topping this.
