And he said, oh, well, one's deceased and the other one, relations are fine.

I said, okay.

And then I looked at the poll results.

Bang, all resolutions defeated.

So everyone's now waiting to not do it by proxy.

but they're doing it on the floor.

And there's been three examples now of major shareholders doing these ambush votes on the floor.

I love it because, well, they don't want to give away their hand.

They want to have maximum impact.

And I love this because as a local government councillor, you're taught that you're not allowed to make up your mind before you go into the meeting.

You have to listen to the public submissions.

You have to listen to the officers.

You have to listen to your colleagues.

And you have to vote with an open mind.

So it's against the law to go into a council meeting and say, I'll be voting in favour of this development I've already decided.

At AGMs, it's the complete opposite.

99% of voted stock is done beforehand.

And so no one listens to the debate, listens to the questions, sees if there's been a share price crash on the day because of the update.

They all vote in advance.

So I like this idea of people voting at the meeting.
