I saw that, but it was 99% that voted new directors on. So 2% extra dissent. Probably a collective of us at the forum along with NZSA proxies.

Pity as I thought we were sending a very clear message

It's that sense of self importance and influence when anonomously posting on an Internet forum that lulls one into thinking everyone must care and act on everything that ones says, especially when supported by a few of the collective voices. Only to find that we're all largely insignificant talking to ourselves and are not representative of those who have the majority shareholdings.

These resolutions don't even get put up for a vote without crosschecking with the guys who own all the shares, to ensure they are on the same page.

But the point is, if shareholders don't voice an opinion, however lowly and unimportant some may think that is, then why the F ever be a shareholder?

Unfortunately it's the indifference of the vast majority of the minorities that allows such activity to perpetuate

ps I thought the NZSA might have held a larger sway than it appears, unless they voted for the resolutions.

But then I guess it varies company to company, and they still have to rustle up proxies, just like anonymous posters on internet forums

The next NBR article could be interesting. The decorum of a couple of the old warts was less than becoming of a professional serving a publicly listed company. Paul Smart came across well and was in another league comparatively.

Not much to add from the meeting that wasn’t covered in the chairman’s address. Nice array of nibbles though.

Word of warning to Rubicon and Aborgen. The establishment of the Maori Carbon Foundation (newly set up to plant possibly 150m trees on 150,000 acres of Maori land) The Role Of Maori Climate Commissioner (yes thats correct - trough makers are currently fully employed in NZ) is now being headed by Donna Awatere Huata. In case they dont know she use to head the Pipi Foundation. Until she diddled them out of a pile of cash and ended up in jail for a little under 3 years.

I dont want to see "koha" as a line in the accounts!
