Even on the Queen's Birthday holiday, attempts are being made by some directors to salvage some of what is left of Allied Brands (ABQ). Meetings are being held all day between directors and key management. All the directors and key management excepting pseudo Managing Director Peter Graham, who's already thrown in the towel. Once 100% owners of Baskin Robbins Australia, their 17 years of screwing franchisees, Baskin Robbins America, and continual bad business decisions have resulted in huge personal losses to his family, his brother David's family, and other family members.
Available only via telephone, Graham is reported to have shouted at one director "you've fucked it all up mate, it's all collapsed in a heap, end of story".
Then Graham, also known as the "puppet managing director" since the company was taken over by Korda Mentha director Lachlan McIntosh, went into his media room and fired up his first movie of the day, "The Last Emperor". A movie about the puppet leader of China, before it collapsed in a heap.
Bloody appropriate.
