Biggest single days for number of AGMs attended
November 15, 2025
This list tracks the biggest single days for numbers of AGMs attended since online AGMs became a thing during the pandemic.
The most in 2021 was November 18 when lobbed questions at the following 8 online AGMs which was more than 10% of the 70 AGMs attended that year.
53. Northern Star: November 18, 5pm - see text of 13 questions asked. No webcast archive or transcript available. Old school chair Michael Chaney AO proved during the meeting he was certainly not a modern company leader, rejecting all requests for transparency and dismissing a JobKeeper question as "hopeless". He also conceded that this $12 billion gold mining giant which owns 100% of Kalgoorlie's super pit was not very diverse - 8 of the 9 directors live in Perth.
52. Humm Group: November 18, 4pm - see text of 13 questions asked of the now rebranded Flexigroup directors, plus this 67 minute webcast. Was a thorough but fair grilling given the Andrew Abercrombie chaired outfit has performed poorly for investors of late.
51. AMA Group: November 18, 2.30pm - see text of 16 questions asked of the battling car repairs giant which tucked into $65 million of Jobkeeper, making the top 10 of ASX listed company recipients. The external candidate Peter Taylor polled less than 5%, mainly because he's currently suing the company. This 83 minute webcast is available and they didn't even name the challenging candidate in these voting results.
50. Mineral Resources: November 18, 12.30pm - see text of questions asked. Billionaire CEO Chris Ellison reminded me of former Oxiana boss Owen Hegarty in his hey day. A real evangelist prone to making overblown claims. Hence the importance of this full 26 page transcript which has been commendably produced. However, the transcript didn't include the text of the spruiking corporate videos. If you go to the end of this 1 hour and 45 minute webcast, you'll see the corporate video finishes with the following lines: "The future for Mineral Resources is unlimited, we are the gold at the end of the rainbow." Hmmm, should ASIC and the ASX be discouraging such boosterism?
49. Mirvac: November 18, 11am - as so often happens, the ASA representative and I were the only people asking questions. See this transcript and watch the webcast of the 64 minute meeting. There were 9% protest votes against chair John Mulcahy and James Millar given both have been on the board since 2009. Unlike with Dexus, Goodman and Charter Hall, there was no big remuneration protest related to excessively generous incentive grants to already wealthy CEOs. Might that be because Mirvac's CEO, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, is female and doesn't need a top-up given that she's already made about $20 million from her long term incentive scheme.
48. Freedom Foods: November 18, 10am: see text of 6 questions asked. Listen to 58 minute webcast or read transcript. I'm down 90% on my $500 investment and this has been an absolute shocker steered by the Perich family, which is a related party milk supplier.
47. Bluescope Steel: November 18, 10am: see text of 7 questions asked. Watch webcast. Chairman John Bevan was Dr No as he rejected the transcript request, rejected disclosing the voting result by shares and shareholders and wouldn't even say what the proxy advisers were recommending. However, investors are happy because all resolutions passed with more than 97% of the voted shares in favour.
46. Altium: November 18, 9.30am: see text of 6 questions asked. Watch webcast of 2 hour and 19 minute meeting which was very much a show-case for this fabulous global player in the software for electric circuit boards. The Q&A didn't start until 90 minutes in but at least we got all the proxies first and there were big protest with 30% against the NED fees rise thanks to an ISS recommendation which was followed by the offshore index fund donkey vote (Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street). There was an 8% against vote chairman Sam Weiss and 40% against the constitutional tweak to allow for virtual meetings, meaning that it was defeated. See voting results. Also, big kudos to chairman Weiss for disclosing the for and against votes by shareholder on key resolutions during the meeting This was done on the fly after a written question, plus in the formal results.
The most in 2022 was November 24 when attended 9 personally plus sent Callum Foote as proxy to Harvey Norman. Managed a total of 130 meetings in 2022
117. Harvey Norman: sent Callum Foote as proxy to physical meeting in Sydney on November 24. See his excellent write up for Michaelwest.com, plus this David Richards piece. As usual, no webcast archive provided and result showed normal 20%+ protest vote against non-independent directors.
116. AMA Group: 2pm hybrid on November 24 with physical component at KPMG in Melbourne. See text of 4 questions asked. No proxy protests despite poor performance. See webcast of 44 minute meeting, plus this 12 page transcript.
115. Ramelius Resources: 11am Perth time hybrid on November 24 for the gold miner capitalised at around $650m. See text of 3 lengthy questions submitted, two of which were asked, including a good chair answer on director recruitment. Watch 59 minute webcast archive. There were hostile auditor questions 40 minutes into this webcast. Watch part of it via Twitter.
114. Regis Resources: 10am hybrid in Perth on November 24. See notice of meeting and see text of 7 questions asked. Refused to provide a webcast archive here.
113. Kogan: noon hybrid on November 24 with Melbourne component at KPMG Melbourne. Ruslan Kogan declined to read his address lodged with the ASX. Proxies disclosed early with formals. See notice of meeting and text of 6 questions asked at 33 minute meeting. Virtual AGMs amendment defeated with 28% opposed. Chair said no webcast archive would be provided. CEO Ruslan Kogan didn't actually deliver this speech lodged with the ASX, but just stood up and said he wasn't going to prove he could read, so interested parties should read it on the ASX website. Bizarre.
112. Webcentral: 11.30am hybrid on November 24 with physical component at 380 Collins St. See text of 5 questions asked and some of the answers. See webcast archive of 29 minute meeting.
111. Hansen Technology: fully virtual AGM at 11am on November 24. See notice of meeting. See text of 5 questions asked. Watch webcast of 41 minute meeting.

108. Ridley: 10am hybrid on November 24 with physical component at KPMG in Melbourne. See notice of meeting. See text of 8 questions asked. No sign of any webcast archive here. Emailed requesting archive access and Dean Martinelli replied: "We record the AGM for the purpose of keeping the minutes only. We don't have a practice of uploading a link to the recording post AGM." Too bad if any of the 6,300 shareholders in this $630m company missed the live version.
