Back in May, I posted how the public terror support of Nasser Mashni and Hash Tayeh was reportedly causing fractures inside the Melbourne chapter of Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), leading to questions being raised with the organization’s leadership asking whether or not some of their remarks had breached the YPO code of conduct.
I am now happy to report that Hash has been kicked out…because he didn’t pay his membership fees!
Crisis averted, it seems, within Melbourne’s hush-hush YPO forum, the secret society of young leaders and trust-fund beneficiaries and baby rich-listers all carrying on like Rockefellers.
Geopolitics doesn’t usually figure in their monthly chapter meetings, where the gathered slouch hangdog and take turns pouring their hearts out with toe-curling confessions – usually about the wives, the kids and the deadweight directors on the board.
That all flipped after October 7, when terrorist attacks on southern Israel led to protest activity and resurgent anti-Semitism across the Western capitals. Especially in Melbourne, where a prominent voice at pro-Palestinian rallies became YPO insider Hash Tayeh, CEO of the Burgertory fast-food chain and a card-carrying member of the YPO Yarra branch – well, until recently.
We reported in May that Tayeh’s public remarks had started to worry a few of the fellas in the YPO brotherhood, to the point where entreaties were made to the greater leadership on whether Tayeh had breached the YPO code of conduct.
Not so, they learned, and this has since led to Yarra branch members privately tossing up whether to boot Tayeh from the group with a forced vote. Much hand-wringing all round, and we hear their finger was very close to pushing that button … but ultimately it wasn’t necessary. Turns out Tayeh lapsed on paying his membership fees and this provided a safer cover to get rid of him – and now he’s gone.
Not that this has turned him into some, ah, rootless cosmopolitan; branchless he may be on the YPO domestic continent, but he’s still a member of the global forum, or so we’re told. We asked Tayeh if he might consider joining another chapter, but he didn’t deign us with a response.
I guess now that he won’t be attending YPO meetings, he will have more time for making cringe videos for his local council run like his latest, that reminds everyone just what a hatemonger unfit for any position of responsibility he is.
