WEBVTT - Headlines: Super Retail CEO sacked in affair fallout

0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the Front's afternoon headlines. The boss of one of Australia's

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>biggest companies has been sacked after the company said he'd

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>misled them about an affair with another senior executive. Super

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Retail said Anthony Herety had given disclosures that were not

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:23.319
<v Speaker 1>satisfactory and that it had discovered new information that meant

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Herety would be terminated immediately. Super Retail, which owns Rebelsport,

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Macpack and BCF, said it was exercising its discretion to

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>lapse Hereti's incentives too. Listeners to the Front will remember

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>when The Australian's retail reporter Eli Greenblatt grilled Herety about

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the alleged affair, which was raised by two former executives

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>who were taking legal action against the firm. Heredy stonewalled

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>in a very awkward moment.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Are you currently in a relationship with Jane Kelly? I

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>mean whether or not you're in a relationship with Jane Kelly.

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 2>That's not a subject to coll proceedings and that's a

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>personal relationship. You can't comment on that. I'm sorry to disrespectful.

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Albanezi is confident he will get a defense treaty

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>with Papua New Guinea, even after the agreement hit a

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>last minute snag. The deal precludes a security pact with China,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>but it hasn't yet been endorsed by PNG's Cabinet Hunters

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>and Collectors. Frontman Mark Seymour reconnected with his mother following

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>her dementia diagnosis. Now he's written a story for The

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Australian about his mum and a musical tribute Come On.

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Down, Lay Down, good Bye.
