    Ah yes....

    Mr Costello was first appointed to the Board with effect from 18 December 2009. Mr Costello was appointed acting Chairman on 11 January 2014 and Chairman with effect from 4 February 2014 for a five-year term. He was reappointed as Chairman for another five-year term with effect from 4 February 2019.

    Who was it that sold 2/3rds of our gold reserves for just $306 an ounce. Now trading at over $2,000 an ounce.

    In November 1997 the then Treasurer, Peter Costello, shocked some people when he announced he'd signed off on the sale of $2 billion worth of Australian bullion. On the day he announced the sale the price was around $US306.00 an ounce. At the time, according to Mr Costello, gold "no longer plays a significant role in the international financial system".
