Sacked RSL NSW boss Glenn Kolomeitz is frustrated. After lifting the lid on the league’s financial scandals, including allegations of fraud and cover-ups within its leadership, the Illawarra army veteran’s recent termination means he won’t get to finish what he started. But that doesn’t mean he’s walking away from his mission to fix the finances and grow the organisation. “I didn’t realise the depth of the governance problems I’d have to start fixing,” Mr Kolomeitz said. “Having started to fix the governance issues and to fix the company’s structural issues, it’s disappointing that I won’t necessarily get to see that through. “I haven’t disappeared from the scene, so I certainly would look at any options to be able to contribute to those reforms in the future.” Mr Kolomeitz described this week’s NSW government announcement of a royal commission-style inquiry into the RSL’s fundraising activities as a “watershed moment” for the organisation.
