The bank on Monday morning said it would launch a domestic and global search to replace Frazis, a former Westpac executive who has led BOQ since 2019.
A statement from Allaway said the board had come to the view that “different leadership” was required, but it did not provide a more detailed explanation for the sudden departure of Frazis after only three years as CEO.Louie Douvis “George Frazis joined BOQ in September 2019 and has overseen a return to growth in all key channels across the bank, the successful acquisition and integration of ME Bank, as well as achieving strong progress in the bank’s technology transformation,” Allaway said.
“However, the board has formed a view that different leadership is now required to ensure BOQ can continue to build a stronger and more resilient bank through future cycles. We thank George for his significant contribution to BOQ over the last three years.BOQ said Frazis would receive his entitlements in accordance with his contract of employment.
The statement from BOQ also appeared to signal a closer focus on the nitty-gritty of banking, after a phase of growth under Frazis. Allaway said that growth would remain important, but the bank would prioritise further strengthening its financial and operational resilience as the economy headed into a more “challenging” cycle.Allaway also said it would focus on transforming its technology, productivity, and its purpose and values.

Some Queensland coal mines to trade beyond 2050 net-zero targetIt has been revealed 12 coal mines across Queensland are expected to continue operating beyond the 2050 net-zero target. Internal state government reports reveal the Carmichael coal mine is expected to remain operational until 2071, while another two mines are expected to remain open until 2099, according to The Courier Mail. The revelations come after Resources Minister Madeleine King declared Australia will continue exporting coal and gas for 'as long as we need'. Coal accounts for 70 per cent of Queensland’s resources exports, amounting to nearly $72 billion. So we'll just send the coal to China to burn, and Australia keeps the 'net zero' tag? LOL. Excellent No surprise, the whole planet has been struggling to transition to renewables for 2 decades are emissions have actually increased. All we have is targets not met and broken promises, what are govt will do differently is still unknown. 🤔
