Q1. Could the audit committee chair comment on whether the discussion at last year's AGM, where it became apparent that Pitcher Partners has audited the company for the past 23 years without ever even being asked to competitively tender for the work, caused any internal discussion about whether, in fact, it is time to run a tender. As things stand, when is the next audit tender likely to occur?
Answer: They'll look it at but doesn't sound like there is any urgency. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
Q2. How many full time equivalent staff do we currently have and is this likely to fall over the coming 12 months with the rapid roll out of AI? Which parts of our business and operations are the most prospective for AI productivity gains and how energetically are we embracing those opportunities?
Answer: The billionaire chair Tony Walls outlined there long interest in AI and concerted efforts to embrace it. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
Q3. What is Stephen Bool's attitude to the idea of having more independent directors on this board along with appointing our first ever female director? Is a 4 man board really appropriate for a $1.6 billion in 2025?
Answer: Enjoyed watching the billionaire Objective founder and 65% controlling shareholder Tony Walls read out this question. Stephen Bool is a former Objective COO and it sounds like they are coming under pressure from female staff to move on this issue. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
