Ann: Appendix 4D and Half Year Report, page-51

I am embarrased to say that I did have slight hope before today too, that they could somehow turn it around in the coming years, but today's announcement just burnt any sort of glimpse of hope away.

In fact, I am pretty dumbfounded and shocked by their audacity to give themselves payrises. There has been plenty of chances in the past month for them to come out, admit their mistakes, show remorse and do the right thing to get the ship back on track, but they've just been doing the complete opposite. First the twitter blast by both Joel and Bane, then a bunch of piss weak and vague announcements, there was also the leaked rumor of a takeover deal, now this. A person with the right mind and moral would have taken an extra step to take a pay cut in light of the destruction of shareholder's wealth and even then it would have been a small step on a long road towards recovery.

I see this as a big f#*k you to the shareholders by Joel and Bane. They really are taking shareholder for fools.
