The RSL NSW council says it is prepared to stand aside en masse and have a caretaker put in place while claims it mishandled financial misconduct allegations are investigated – but only if it gets to choose the caretaker. The condition set by the beleaguered NSW leadership has sparked an angry response from some RSL members and deepened a stoush with the league’s national board. A message sent out to RSL members says the state council agreed at a meeting on Monday that it “will voluntarily stand aside on an interim basis pending the results of a board of inquiry into allegations of financial misconduct”.
