The directors who quit were the former New South Wales chief justice James Spigelman, the Australian’s editor-at-large, Paul Kelly, the Free TV chief, Bridget Fair, and the former chief executive of the State Library of Victoria Kate Torney. The institute, housed in an updated heritage building in inner Sydney’s Chippendale, which was gifted by Neilson, was launched as a non-partisan charity governed by an independent board.But it emerged last week that Neilson was unhappy with some of the decisions made by the organisation and had indicated she wanted to become more involved with running it.

According to leaked emails, Ryan opposed the move and warned the international advisory board that the organisation was spiralling “out of control”. However, only four of the 12 advisory board members signed the letter to Neilson. Ryan remains on the board but is believed to be negotiating an exit.
