Like the big banks that are going sh!thouse at the moment due to no control and the fact that every bank has extraordinary provision for doubtful debts and write offs due to overly aggressive lending?...you mean those CEO's who put their companies into sh!t....
No thanks....and on top of that..none of them would get involved if it meant a sh!tload of work..they all want cushy board of director jobs and thats it.
And thirdly...they'll ask for massive salaries and bonuses...again..no thanks
Looking at your posts, you must really love John Howard. He isn't the worst option, but not far off. We need someone with a national identity like Howard, but a unifying figure rather than divisive one. That and he is definately too old. How old will he be in 2013 when he takes the position? 75? How long can he reasonably do his job at that age?
Do you know anything about the financial industry? The Australian banks aren't "going sh*thouse". eg, Commonwealth shares are just under $50 (from low of $28 in January, God I wish I bought more)!
Have you ever met a bank executive? Australians big four banks are rated in the top 10 banks in the world at the moment, due to the fact they are well regulated and have excellent management. Part of the reason the recession hasn't hit so hard here, along with stimulus spending and the resource sector doing okay due to China.
On Salary, what do you think Howard will ask for when he is currently getting $100,000 for one hour speaches in America? He would parady a bank executive in terms of salary.
