Three rebel board members of the Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) fear they will be suspended this week in a bid to prevent them from voting for new leadership. John Kanga, Caitrin Kelly and Alison Saville have been called before the club's disciplinary committee on Thursday to face allegations of breaching the code of conduct.
Three rebel board members fear the Melbourne Racing Club is hauling them before a disciplinary hearing this week as part of a strategy to prevent them from voting for a new club chairman.
With chairman Matt Cain and executive committee member Mark Pratt stepping down, two new board members will be announced at the AGM, and a new chairman will be voted in on Friday.But Kanga believes the three rebels, who are part of the Save Our MRC group, are being set up to be suspended so that they cannot vote for new office bearers.
A spokesperson for the MRC nomination, remuneration and governance subcommittee said the club was “committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance”. “No determination has been made at this stage and the relevant individuals have been invited to respond to those concerns, as is appropriate. No further comment can be made at this stage while the proper process is ongoing.”
