A bit of AGC History

 The recent passing of Peter French brought to mind this classic caricature of Barry Robertson that appeared in an article in the SMH under the heading: Trouble-shooter has work cut out.

Although the sackings were a Board decision, it was left to Barry (as the new CEO) to do the deed. And you just have to love the way in which the artist turned the AGC tumble-blocks into a chopping block.

An earlier SMH article on the matter featured this rather typical photo of Peter:

 


It’s a bit scary to think that all this happened nearly 31 years ago!
