Joyce ‘retires’ early 👍

“The last flight to Sydney is due to leave in half an hour,” Qantas’ legal council Andrew Finch said.
Committee chair Bridget McKenzie declined the request, and said the Senate still has questions, unconcerned this would ground the executives in Canberra for the night.
Qantas began giving evidence shortly after 3pm.
After another 15 minutes McKenzie called it a wrap, after 3 hours and 40 minutes of questioning.
“Fly well,” she told the Qantas leaders.
“We hope it leaves on time,” she quipped.
‘The last flight to Sydney leaves in half an hour’: Qantas pleads after hours of questions

Qantas has pleaded with the Senate to end the hearing after well over three hours of intense and at times hostile questioning.“The last flight to Sydney is due to leave in half an hour,” Qantas’ legal council Andrew Finch said.
Committee chair Bridget McKenzie declined the request, and said the Senate still has questions, unconcerned this would ground the executives in Canberra for the night.

Qantas shareholders demand chairman Richard Goyder's resignation as investors place rest of board on notice
Yea, the same shareholders who demanded nothing while the money was rolling in, and would be demanding nothing if the money was still rolling in.

Grandstanders all.

Goyder knows that he only needs three of the institutional investors - HSBC, JP Morgan, and Citicorp - onside to keep his job. Add two more of the institutionals - BNP Paribas, and NAB - and he can stave off a remuneration report strike.
Coincidentally or otherwise, all five of those institutions just happen to be the top five investors in ... wait for it ... Woodside. Goyder would have all of those proxies in his back pocket. He may be unlikable, but he's not stupid.

As a Melbourne based shareholder, I think I may go to the AGM this year. Usually, it is a fairly dry affair but this year threatens to be interesting. I imagine the unions or a Stephen Mayne type will undoubtedly get up and ask Goyder why the AJ share sale was approved and why the ACCC investigation, which was already on-foot at the time, was not publicly disclosed at the same time. That question alone threatens to bring him down.
By what mechanism do you think that might occur?

This is a test for the Board. Withhold Joyce's at risk bonus components until he fronts and satisfactorily explains.
Surely putting the company reputation at risk is sufficient reason.

No, it’s a test for the shareholders.
We already know the Board’s position and decision.

I would say he would be brought down due to his position being untenable though, in many respects, it already is.

Brilliant!
I’m no fan on the QF Exec “Leadership “. The quip by the Senator for rorts IMO was churlish in the extreme.
And, according to the currently-published register of interests, she’s still a member of the Chairman’s Lounge.
