flag RSL NSW faces crisis over leadership disputes, financial mismanagement, and loss of trust, with a vote to oust its president and ally.

flag RSL NSW, Australia’s largest ex-servicemen’s organisation, is in crisis amid internal conflict, financial instability, and eroding trust. flag Once seen as a reforming force under President Mick Bainbridge, the group now faces allegations of mismanagement, conflicts of interest, and a legal challenge Bainbridge launched against the organisation itself—threatening a critical real estate deal. flag Centralisation efforts have sparked backlash from grassroots members who accuse leaders of undermining local autonomy and mishandling over $1 billion in assets across 300 sub-branches. flag Scandals include unreported branch closures, treasurer fraud, and exploitative club leases. flag A joint meeting will decide whether to remove Bainbridge and ally Paul James, who deny wrongdoing. flag The outcome will determine the future of an institution struggling to regain credibility and relevance.
