Q1. Best practice is now to disclose the proxy position to the ASX along with the formal addresses to offer more timely disclosure to the market? The likes of Origin, NAB, Car Group, Viva Energy, Webjet, Xero, Myer, Brambles and JB Hi Fi all do this. Will you adopt this practice at next year's AGM and have there been any material proxy protest votes against any of today's items of business? If so, was it caused by a proxy adviser recommending an against vote?
Answer: The chair Andrew Larke said they would look into this for next year and there were no protest votes. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
