kate_eviva Why are we surprised when people are attracted to a career that is purely about gathering money for themselves .. turn out to be primarily interested in gathering money for themselves? Just use credit unions people! Banks only enrich bankers.

How much? Lol

Can’t see that this man will not get jail time.

The thing is, 'rorted' doesn't sound quite the same as 'embezzled' or 'stole'. Why do you use one set of language for white collar crime and another set for everything else?

juliecorb Was the $0.5MILLION repaid? Did the perpetrator go to jail? What responsibility did Thorburn accept besides his admission to SLOPPY management?

NAB is rotten to the core.

'Two NAB insiders have said that they both had concerns about a culture of largesse and extravagant spending that became normalised inside Mr Thorburn’s office' NAB must act to clean out their executives starting with Andrew Thorburn and Ken Henry. newscomauHQ 9NewsMelb 3AW693

'Two NAB insiders have said that they both had concerns about a culture of largesse and extravagant spending that became normalised inside Mr Thorburn’s office' The royal commissioner was right NAB has not and will not learn any lessons until Andrew Thorburn & Ken Henry are gone.

NAB again front and centre. It's clear that a broom needs to go through NABs executves, top of the list is Andrew Thorburn and Ken Henry. Their aggressive and arrogant behaviour is clearly the norm at NAB. The NAB board must act or customers beware. NAB SkyNewsAust 9NewsMelb

Make rosemaryrogers and HelenRosamond pay it all back. They definitely need jail time for these rorts! And Thorburn needs to go! I’m refinancing everything from NAB ASAP!!

$500k for a holiday!!! My house isn’t worth that much. And last year our Euro-US holiday cost us about $10k all up. Must be good to be king, as they say.

Enjoy your next holiday.

Sack him! 9NewsAUS FinancialReview

It just gets better.

Why investigate bankers who steal? when a Politician steals taxpayers money, nothing but crickets.

Why isn’t she in jail?

Cut all his perks and lurks and chop off his big bonus and his Zillion dollar entitlements.

Corporate crime deserves a Prison term..

Can these people sink any lower

Holiday - 1/2 million- WTF - was he eating gold?

Thorburn and Ken Henry must go on be sacked! They oversaw the many failings of the bank and did nothing to stop it! The only hope for the NAB is to install Mike Baird as CEO! He will put in place the proper processes, procedures and outcomes that restore confidence!

She ate most of it..

She's a fat cow isn't she!

Great corporate governance.

And my children’s father had to fight tooth and nail to receive his TDP after an MS attack that left him unable to work. These people are pure evil. bankingRC

Sounds legit

Why not it wasn't his money Ralph.

What's the bet that he and his wife will get off virtually untouched and with a luxury retirement.
