Resignations in the news
Rugby Australia plunged into more turmoil after Peter Wiggs exit
Rugby Australia's boardroom dramas have amplified with Peter Wiggs tendering his resignation after a heated email exchange with interim chairman Paul McLean.
Touted as RA's next chairman, Wiggs had been pushing for the immediate installment of Australian Olympic Committee CEO Matt Carroll as departed chief executive Raelene Castle's replacement.
In an email exchange published by The Australian on Wednesday, McLean entertained Carroll's appointment.
However, citing a conflict of interest because of Wiggs' friendship with Carroll, McLean suggested Wiggs remain in a director role.
Instead he proposed incoming board member Hamish McLennan, a former Ten boss and News Corp senior executive, a more suitable chairman.
Fellow board members had also reportedly pushed back on the move that would have skipped any formal recruitment or interview process.
Supercars chairman Wiggs, credited for steering RA's player pay-cut deal during his brief RA posting, replied by saying what little regard he had for the board had "extinguished" and he would resign on Wednesday.
Confirming Wiggs had done just that, McLean said he "understood his reasons" for departing.
"He has undertaken some very important work and has made a valuable contribution to the organisation, in a very short time, and we are thankful for his contribution," McLean, who is also RA's acting chief executive, said.
"The immediate priority of the board is to install a replacement for Peter, and an interim chief executive."
It's another setback as the cash-strapped organisation navigates a way back to the field while trying to arrange a new broadcast deal.
It is hoped a domestic Super Rugby season could return in July, while a Bledisloe Cup series remains a prospect later this year.
But RA, awaiting rescue funds from World Rugby, faces a potential revenue hit of $120 million if no play is possible this year.

University of Adelaide insists mystery departures nothing to do with finances
The University of Adelaide says the unexplained departure of its two top leaders this week - chancellor Kevin Scarce and vice-chancellor Peter Rathjen - has nothing to do with its finances, and that it is not at risk of insolvency.
On Monday, Rear Admiral Scarce resigned as chancellor with immediate effect, cutting the former South Australian governor's term at the university short by six months.
Less than 24 hours later, Professor Rathjen took indefinite leave from the role of vice-chancellor.
The university has refused to provide any explanation for the two men stepping aside, but a spokesperson today said it had nothing to do with the financial position of the university.
"The recent announcements are not in any way related to the financial health of the university or the impacts of COVID-19," the spokesperson said.
"The university, like many institutions, is facing a budget shortfall due to COVID-19, but is in a sound financial position and is expecting a strong recovery after the pandemic has ended.
"There is no risk of the university becoming insolvent."
The spokesperson added that "there is no suggestion of financial impropriety".
The university's council met outside its normal meeting schedule on Monday, the day of Rear Admiral Scarce's resignation.
The spokesperson said there have been "a number of additional meetings throughout the COVID-19 situation", but did not directly respond when asked about the subject of the meeting.
Premier Steven Marshall said that he had not had any "update" from the university on what was going on - although he said he had spoken to its deputy chancellor, Catherine Branson.
"I have now spoken to the deputy chancellor and offered any support," he told reporters today.
The ABC has contacted Rear Admiral Scarce and Professor Rathjen for comment.
