    The directors of Heartland should be careful this is not seen as payment of an indulgence to wash away their sins should the Commerce Commissions case go against them.

    Edit:Oops scratch that I was confusing Harmony with Heartland.

    The Board and management must be able to justify the donation. They need to be asked what the return is on the 'investment'.
    Surely this was done with a benefit to the company in mind?
    Otherwise it is totally unjustified and a waste shareholders money.
    Without accountability where does this end? Are they entitled to give away your money to whatever cause -political or otherwise -that takes their fancy?

    Well said. They have a duty of care to shareholders to maximize returns so someone needs to step up to the plate and ask them at the forthcoming annual meeting how this is in the best interests of shareholders ? Forgive me I forget, where is the annual meeting being held this year ? Its no secret the hound enjoys a good debate and is never shy of barking so if I go along I'll bark about it.

    Doesn't a return in 'investment' sort of imply bribe?

    Not good

    If Biker is nice and gives the beagle a pat I might promote him to "Beagle status" for the day and then we can howl in unison

    That's what makes the board so valuable, differing methods, viewpoints and opinions. Sad that some seem to move very quickly to deriding anything that differs from their own viewpoint. A more mature and respectful approach is to state ones views and ignore others that one does not agree with, outside of an informed debate, especially avoiding personal derision, thus letting the readers decide for themselves. This thread has at times plumbed the heights of ramping, the lows of downramping and the disappointing depths of personal attacks. Unnecessary really.
