Time to contact the board of beyondblue
beyondblue CEO Dawn O'Neil has further distanced the organisation from Jeff Kennett
"O’Neil said the views expressed were Kennett’s alone and don’t reflect the views of the organisation.
But, gracious lady that she is, she declined to comment on calls to have Kennett stood down over the remarks.
‘It’s a decision for him and the board not me,” she said, “I understand some people are not happy with his comments and I would encourage people to contact him and talk to him about that.”
Really Long Link
I doubt talking to Jeff will do much good, but it might be a good idea to contact members of the board.

If you have any contact details for any of them, please pass them along and I will post them all here, e.g., some are on Facebook, Twitter etc., some you will find by Googling. Netizens, it;s over to you!
