So, Ms Harrison it was about sex and power for Mr Worner. What was it about for you? True love? Altruism?

What has he done wrong that cannot be just categorised as an extra marital affair. That’s something for him, Ms Harrison and his family to sort. While not condoning his actions, what business of SWM is it? Life’s hard. People make mistakes. He’s apologised.

She was paid $100,000 hush money and now is talking, I suggest Seven take her to court to get the hush money back. As a share holder I suggest they start a recovery immediately, as shareholders we demand it!
