"Andrew Lindberg" Bachelor of Science/B.Sc., Bachelor of Commerce/B.Comm., Master of Business Administration/MBA, FAICD (Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors) is an Australian businessman.

From 2000 until February 2006 he held the positions of managing director and board member of AWB Limited. He resigned from these positions in the wake of his appearance at the Cole Inquiry. Despite "the trial by media" that occurred throughout the inquiry, in November 2006, he was exonerated. But this revelation came too late, as the reputation of Mr. Lindberg, AWB and many other parties involved, had already been tainted. Despite being cleared by the Cole Inquiry, Andrew was pursued by ASIC. The Judge in charge of the case has criticised ASIC for its conduct in relation to their charges against Mr Lindberg and the long protracted proceedings. Mr Lindberg was eventually fined and banned from managing a company for one year for his role in the scandal.

Prior to that he had been Chief Executive of WorkSafe Victoria/WorkCover in Victoria (Australia)/Victoria and worked for the Victorian Accident Compensation Commission since 1987.

After completing his Bachelor of Science at University of Melbourne he had first worked as an industrial relations advisor in the mining and food production industries.

We believe that a more reasonable view of the AWB is that it was an unwitting participant in an elaborate scheme of deception devised by the regime.
