Another salient lesson for the boards of #charity and #NGO non-profits.
The lazy habit of employing politically connected, wealthy 'donor whisperers' in leadership roles inevitably leads to failure. To the point where it becomes counter-productive to not just fund raising, but the mission itself. Guide Dogs Victoria is a great example of what happens when a charity becomes captured by wealthy 'conservatives', overcome by their own hubris.
Just because people went to expensive schools and are rich, does NOT make them effective leaders, especially in sectors which exist specifically to mitigate the damage and inequality caused by their class.
"More than two-and-a-half years after the charity was thrust into the biggest scandal of its 65-year history, Guide Dogs Victoria has finally lifted its silence over the affair.
The impact of the Frydenberg affair was “huge” and far-reaching, Guide Dogs Victoria chief executive Nicky Long has told The Klaxon, in an exclusive and wide-ranging interview.
“The impact on the organisation has been huge,” Long said.
“I don’t think there’s anyone internally or even at a volunteer level that didn’t feel the ripple effects of what occurred”."

My take from the article is that they still want to pretend they're not the Black Knight.
(You can bet that Frydenberg hasn't lost sleep over it.)

At those 10, 20, 30 heck $40,000 per year fuckwit factories in the capital cities producing straw hat wearing, violin playing, morons, utterly convinced they can play a role in mitigating the worst impacts of their class. Crowd sourcing for cancer and guide dogs, and waving through billions for war while supporting an awful local member like Freydenberg who hates charities. For charity.
They gravitate to the Liberal Party of course. And their way of mitigating what small amount of guilt they may feel, or simply to lubricate social and political relationships, is to busy themselves with 'charities'. Not at the community level. Oh no, its CEO or nothing for these natural leaders, like the Oxbridge ladies of days gone by. Often the wives of Barristers, or the sons/daughters of somebody 'important'.
