Its history dated back to the early nineties and listed on the ASX in in two thousand and seven.
And it was essentially a diversified financial services group investing in and developing financial services under
tax efficient structures, but didn't look anything like the business that Generation Group is today.
So I really feel like this story starts in twenty seventeen.
Because in twenty seventeen three things happened.
You've alluded to one of them.
But on the first of July twenty seventeen, super contribution cap changes.
So they were significantly lowered from 180,000 to 100,000.
So in layman's terms, if you were to contribute more than that, you would have to pay extra tax.
Later that month, you've mentioned uh Rob Coomb saw an opportunity to reinvigorate Ozstock.
At the time was floundering, let's call it a fifty million dollar circuit.
a market cap.
He becomes the executive chair.
He brings you in as the head of sales.
And then later that year the Hain Royal Commission kicked off, went for two years and it was the in the Royal Commission into banking, superannuation and financial services.
And it fundamentally reshapes the industry that that you work in.
So I wanted to lay those down, but let's pick off number two to start with.
Maybe you can give some background of Rob.
You mentioned he was running B T previously and so he was perfectly placed in my mind, alongside you, to really exploit these opportunities that I've kind of put down.
So he comes to you and maybe you can pick up the story as to what he saw the opportunity.
