Yes. Because it doesn't stop what just happened happening again.

What makes you think they didn't move away from the independent board model? Was it removing the independent board?

They are protesting debenture holders of Wests Ashfield. Might be a nice 3 hour train ride for you?

There was a protest demanding a review of governance and under pressure, they reluctantly implemented the findings. It's well documented. Mate...people aren't missing anything. We've been living this drama for years. Some worked it out sooner than others, but after a while, you can't ignorebthe...
