flag RSL NSW leaders resigned over conflict-of-interest allegations, sparking calls for reform.

flag RSL NSW President Mick Bainbridge and board member Paul James resigned minutes before a vote on their removal, citing governance and transparency concerns after an internal investigation found potential breaches of conflict-of-interest policies and the code of conduct. flag Their resignations were joined by two other board members. flag The probe followed allegations, including claims that Bainbridge and James failed to disclose a legal conflict while co-owning a firm that represented a former RSL Lifecare volunteer in a lawsuit against the organization. flag Legal advice indicated possible disciplinary action. flag Both men deny wrongdoing. flag The developments come amid controversy over a draft bill James helped draft that would allow central control of sub-branch assets without consent. flag The organization said the resignations present an opportunity to rebuild trust.
