The Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education’s chief executive officer Joe Martin-Jard will leave the job roughly 14 months after he started, while his deputy has been directly appointed to take over from him in a “succession plan”, despite the Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption previously warning the organisation against direct appointments of staff without a selection process.
Mr Martin-Jard was announced as the new CEO in late May last year, 16 months after the sudden and unexplained departure of the last CEO. It followed Mr Martin-Jard’s own sudden and unexplained departure as CEO of the Northern Land Council in March 2024.
Batchelor Institute is the perfect reason why you do not go near NT ICAC! Staff members handed them the smoking gun half a decade ago and absolutely nothing has changed! Nobody got into trouble.Its pure No consequences NT!
How many students do they have in July 2025? Is it under 100? Is it under 30? Do they still have 230 Employees bused in daily and bused home at 4pm?
If ICAC actually call you for information, which I can tell you will never happen as that tax payer funded organisation is not investigating anything, please hang up on them, they still have not fixed their witnesses cannot be called to court by the people being investigated, which outs your identity!! And that means your leaving town.
Good questions but here are a couple more
Is it 8 or 9 CEOs now since 2017?
How much has been paid in redundancy or go away quietly money to the various CEOs since 2017?
How much was Pat Anderson paid in total during her term as Chair of the Council, including salary and wages, travel allowance, meals and entertainment reimbursement, meeting attendance fees both in the NT and elsewhere, office costs including electricity and other expenses for her home
Just asking?
This MOB have been wasting tax payers money for years.
Fraud/rorting and misconduct and have been rife at BIITE for decades. CDU is not squeaky clean either.
