Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. The boss of one of Australia's
Speaker 1: biggest companies has been sacked after the company said he'd
Speaker 1: misled them about an affair with another senior executive. Super
Speaker 1: Retail said Anthony Herety had given disclosures that were not
Speaker 1: satisfactory and that it had discovered new information that meant
Speaker 1: Herety would be terminated immediately. Super Retail, which owns Rebelsport,
Speaker 1: Macpack and BCF, said it was exercising its discretion to
Speaker 1: lapse Hereti's incentives too. Listeners to the Front will remember
Speaker 1: when The Australian's retail reporter Eli Greenblatt grilled Herety about
Speaker 1: the alleged affair, which was raised by two former executives
Speaker 1: who were taking legal action against the firm. Heredy stonewalled
Speaker 1: in a very awkward moment.
Speaker 2: Are you currently in a relationship with Jane Kelly? I
Speaker 2: mean whether or not you're in a relationship with Jane Kelly.
Speaker 2: That's not a subject to coll proceedings and that's a
Speaker 2: personal relationship. You can't comment on that. I'm sorry to disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Anthony Albanezi is confident he will get a defense treaty
Speaker 1: with Papua New Guinea, even after the agreement hit a
Speaker 1: last minute snag. The deal precludes a security pact with China,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't yet been endorsed by PNG's Cabinet Hunters
Speaker 1: and Collectors. Frontman Mark Seymour reconnected with his mother following
Speaker 1: her dementia diagnosis. Now he's written a story for The
Speaker 1: Australian about his mum and a musical tribute Come On.
Speaker 3: Down, Lay Down, good Bye.
Speaker 1: That's part of the Australians campaign Think Again, which is
Speaker 1: live now at fink Again dementia dot com dot AU.
Speaker 1: You can check out all our stories live right now
Speaker 1: at The Australian dot com dot a U and come
Speaker 1: back to the front first in the morning for our
Speaker 1: close look at why Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen is in
Speaker 1: China of all places, risking the annoyance of Anthony Albanezi
Speaker 1: and making up for the misjudgments of Daniel Andrews
