Let's put it in this simple way. If it wasn't because CP had his Lawyers and his right hand man there present at the meeting, and trying to ask questions and run the meeting like a normal meeting should have been run, Askin would have treated all of the shareholders there present (were some of them spent a lot of money travelling and staying there), like a heap of chicken manure. Nothing surer.

IMHO, they weren't there for the reason of causing trouble and to disrupt the meeting, they were there to make sure that the meeting was run like it should have, and to protect shareholders in general. And that includes CP's interests.

Regardless of what many postere here say about CP, he is a shareholder just the same as anyone of us. And he is prepared to put his money where his mouth is by sending his Lawyers to protect his interests, And of course, while he is protecting his own interests, he is protecting ours as well.

I would hate to be facing the bill of what it will cost him to get those people travelling there and the accomodation.

IMHO, the problem here in Australia, is that the tall poppy syndrome is still very much alive and well.
