| Subject: Funny: OZschwitz Chamber of Commerce's Burchell Wilson calls Treasurer "a fat little bastard" Thu Aug 28, 2014 9:36 pm | |
| The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry has stood down its chief economist over allegations he posted wildly offensive comments on his Facebook account, including one referring to a childhood picture of Treasurer Joe Hockey as "a fat little bastard".
Burchell Wilson, who has developed important elements of the ACCI's economic agenda and has become a vociferous public opponent of the renewable energy target since he joined the organisation in 2009, was stood down on Thursday by the group's chief executive, Kate Carnell, after the alleged postings surfaced.
They include rants against the disabled, refugees, Muslims and Mr Hockey.
