these non-executive directors of Australia's boardroom club
some them legendary for buggering-up good firms
in sinecures or through cronyism ... I kid you not, bub
The most unworthy of 'em all, Elizabeth Nosworthy
has sent three big, greedy non-performers to the wall
while getting shit-loads of lucre in directors fees and shares
under her stewardship, she 'directed' 'em to their fall
In an electoral rort that would make Robert Mugabe blush
she and her ilk are returned to boards with 90% of the vote
SallyAnne, Anthony, Mansfield, McGauchie, Ward, Dixon, Hegarty
Gorves, Stockdale. Eddington, Fell .. the share-holder's the goat
These unscrupulous Teflon people who keep getting invited back
have "strategies" that preside over joblessness and a declining nation
depart long before the results of their handiwork is apparent
to pop again in positions of power ad causing no consternation
This "Dishonour Roll" of immoral shits continues to take us all for a ride
they've no problems sleeping at night or snouting in troughs by day
it's nice work if you can get it (if that's what it's called)
while you and I will continue to pay and pay and pay and pay .....

You really nailed this one Bernie.
It reminds me of the expression: We are all created equal, just that some are more equal than others.
If their advice is creating bankruptcy, then in my eyes they are no less than a petty thief. Correction I put the thief above them; they truly fit the description of pusillanimous scabs, because they crawl away from their mess, often with a sizeable monetary handshake, and as you say, cronyism helps them repeat their offences. if a thief got caught doing what they get away with, they'd be in jail.
Really like the metaphor - Teflon people- what a gem...even shit won't stick to em. I've heard it before, so I checked an internet dictionary - Teflon, noun. (Trademark.) polytetrafluoroethylene - no other meaning so far. But here is a word, that deserves to make it into the modern lexicon to describe people who get away with murder. Perhaps it's only an Australian term and not found overseas. Do you have an Australian Dictionary perhaps it is in there. Worth checking out, because it is a term that pops up from time to time.
'This dishonour roll of immortal shits' - another great visual metaphor you wouldn't want to wipe your arse with.
