This is the best summary I could come up with:


Mr Goyder has been under increasing pressure to resign from the airline, following the premature departure of controversial former chief executive Alan Joyce in early September.

"As a board, we acknowledge the significant reputation and customer service issues facing the group and recognise that accountability is required to restore trust," Mr Goyder said in a statement on Wednesday.

They include the new Qantas chief executive and managing director Vanessa Hudson, Dr Heather Smith and Doug Parker.

However, the Transport Workers' Union has criticised the announcement, saying Mr Goyder is attempting "to retire in dignity after presiding over illegal conduct," and new CEO Vanessa Hudson should be excluded from the board.

"This announcement is an attempt by Goyder to leave in a dignified manner with another year's pay in his pocket, after presiding over the largest case of illegal sackings in Australian history," Mr Kaine said.

Measured and orderly succession at board level will support the important work underway led by Vanessa and her new management team.
