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.
And I say, bring it on, let's have more of it.
And so, yeah, it's interesting to see that finally we're getting some big shareholders who are actually not voting by proxy.
They're waiting until the meeting and ambushing boards and maximising their impact.
So bring it on.
More of that, please.
Very interesting.
Well, we've got 20 questions to get through.
Jack, my wife and I are mid-30s professionals, a couple of kids, one on the way, and a mortgage, and we haven't accessed the bank of mum and dad since leaving high school.
We've been taking some money out of the offset to invest in shares for years, but this year I'm questioning whether it's worth it.
And then Jack goes on and has crunched all the numbers, and his basic proposition is that taxes are so brutal, and when you add in the capital gains tax changes, the Medicare levy, what they're paying back in HECS, how much they've lost in accessing the childcare subsidy –
He's saying that there's no incentive to go out there and take a risk and people like me, we should just sit back and maximise our debt on our house to minimise our tax.
Who'd take a risk when the government, and he's worked it out, he's saying that we're losing, you know, close to 70% of every extra dollar earned because of HECS and childcare subsidies and things kicking in.
